Fairbanks to Coldfoot

 Sorry I haven't posted for a few days but we have no internet access or mobile phone signal, this is the start of the Dalton highway that leads to Prudhoe Bay, 500 miles of mostly gravel, a bit slippy when its wet, which it is most of the time.
 The bikes are looking a bit muddy, they won't get a clean now till we reach Canada, no point
                                 Great place you can see I'm excited.
                                                Crossing the Artic circle.
 The hotel at Coldfoot, very basic, they are portacabins bolted together, clean and warm though, and it has a laundry so we can wash our clothes at last.
 A visit to Wiseman a old gold mining town, this guy is an former gold prospecter, we chatted for a while and he told us all about his life digging for gold
                  A Willys jeep, it actually runs and gets used on a daily basis circa 1943.
                                    This is were the guy lives, fantastic place.
