Route Changes and decisions made

Well the north-western route keeps morphing.   I have an alternate route planned from Victoria to Whitehorse in case the weather through the mountains in BC is not cooperative.  After much consideration, I have decided that the Dempster Hwy to Inuvik is off the table - just too much time and hassle with not having the right kind of bike for it.  I do intend to take a side excursion to Haines Junction and up to Burwash Landing though.  Through the Kluane (pronounced kloo-ah-nee) National Park.  My little trip up there while working in Whitehorse convinced me that I need to see more of it.   If weather and road condition permits, I will try to do the portion of the Top of the World highway from Dawson City to Little Gold and back, without doing the dip into Alaska from the south.   Pretty stoked for this trip.  I know it will continue to change as I prepare and as I travel.
