    Hey Buddy, I got into Haines. What a trek across the mountain. I had a stiff headwind all the way. I rode to 11:00pm and fell into my bag.
    did I tell you about the Grizzly bears? Oh my God. I was daydreaming up a small incline and I looked left to see a sow and cub about 30' away. My mouth went dry and the hair on the back of my neck stood up. Then I saw another big boar about two miles down the rode.
    Haines is a beautiful place. Maybe the nicest place I ever seen.
    Keep on truckin

    Hey Quinn,
    I'm not sure we've met but I heard we're second cousins...but with this family, who really knows! Anyway, just wanted to say keep on keepin' on. I'm heading to AK in august for a few months, or a few years, and just sad that I couldn't bike a few miles with ya.
    Good luck and stay safe!
