From Anchorage to Ushuaia by Bike

By definition, as you passed a pass, you should go downhill: we had 2 days of going dowhill slowly to get to Glennallen.

We met 2 German cyclotourists who had come to Alaska to bike for several years and who are dreaming of biking Alaska - Terra del Fuego!

We stopped at the Tolsona Wilderness Campground where we had a wireles connection and we could answer some emails while sitted on a picnic table, next to a river, on the sun.

We are very disappointed by Glennallen which was our objective for the week: this town, if we can call it a town, has no downtown. It is very very long, along the highway, with no beginning and no end ... and there is not much to do overthere.

We had a nice welcome by the owner of the Northern Nights Campground, even if we took such a long time to pinch our tent on the gravel ... usually a place for RV ... no grass! During the evening we had brownie and icecream, baked and offered by the owner, with all the other campers (none of them is in a tent!). sébastien took 3 times of this nice dessert!

As we were having a day off in Glennallen, we decided to do some laundry in the laudrymat of the town. It was a bad idea ... As our old washing machine was finishing its cycle, the water in town was cut! The owner manage to forced the engine so all the water in the machine went finally out ... and our laudry was dirtier than before washing it! We left, depited.

Hopefully tomorrow luck will be with us for the long planned day ...
