Mosquitoes and Mechanical Problem
Well I must type fast because the computer I am using charges 2 Loonies for twenty minutes. There is no wireless for my own laptop. For those who don't know a loonie is Canadian dollar coin. Here are some photos from yesterday:
Here is Doug playing with some of the local wildlife
This is us with the sign that Nathan made
Today we had an uneventful ride to Whitehorse except for one problem which could be a big one. My gas tank is leaking gasoline. Doug and I removed the tank and found a leak coming from the inside of the tank's sending unit. It is not coming from a hose so we are a little concerned the local Honda dealer (putting on our tires tomorrow) can fix it. I don't want to end up running out of gasoline on the way to the Arctic Circle.
While working on the bike at a rest stop we discovered that the mosquitos up here are as big as horse flies. They seem to love me. Their bites make me swell up. During the time we worked on the bike I wore a mosquito net. It was weird to see ten or more huge mosquitoes trying to get to me.
I have some stories to tell but my 20 minutes are about up. Tomorrow I hope to write that the bike is fixed and we are on our way again. Today marked our 3,000th mile. Still having a great time.

Hi Dell and Doug:
I have been reading your blogs. Glad to hear things are going well relatively speaking. On the gas tank, check and see that the hose inside the tank has not popped off.
Good luck and be safe.
