29 Jul

I was up early to get my new tyres sorted out but I didn’t get out of Whitehorse until 11h45 because Yukon motorcycles were quite busy although the guys squeezed me in and I managed to leave sooner than the anticipated mid afternoon!

The big girl gets new shoes!!

The ride to Dawson was a 550km ride up the Klondike highway which was more of the same beautiful northern Canadian vistas which I am starting to become a little blasé about!! Dawson is a real frontier town; houses made out of tin much like the old gold mining town of Johannesburg as still seen at Gold Reef city, except this is a functioning active town that is stuck in a time warp!!

I haven’t taken pics of the town today because I need to get to bed but will be back here for Friday night and will get some pics then.

Tomorrow…the Dempster..woohoooo!!

 
Be a sport Many of us have the means and wherewithal to undertake the dreams we want but elect to choose otherwise, many however, do not and that is the purpose of this plea. Afrika Tikkun (http://afrikatikkun.org// ) is a South African non governmental, non profit charity organisation run by the Lubner family that in essence does just that; re-provide the possibility to dream and to create the possibility of turning those dreams into a reality.

Unlike many pleas of this nature, I am not looking for any kind of sponsorship for my trip, but I am looking for your donation, regardless of its size to Afrika Tikkun. Please pledge generously as this is a fantastic cause that will assist them to provide food, care, education, health and social services to those that are desperately in need.
