Yano, I'm sorry to hear my computer fix didn't work for you.
If there's anything else I can do...? I could send you a pic of me in my kilt if that would help? I don't have knee pads though & I haven't taken any 'up-kilt' pics so I guess Bill Dog has me beat...unless I find a volunteer photographer. Stay safe. |

Addition
When I say fee I mean a donation to my favourite breast cancer charity just to clear that up.
I'm pretty sure that parking for the scooters has been sorted out. Joe posted some details about it in the other thread I believe. So about this room......... Birreh ! |
My tire was finally delivered by FedEx just before 7 pm. It got the scenic tour of Summit County as the next to last delivery spending 9 hours in the back of their truck. Oh well, it arrived and we got a couple hundred miles in before calling it a night.
Drove a portion of the route to Dillion in reverse then cut over to a shorter/faster route. The cutover was on what would be a great road on the scoot - in the daytime. Managed to avoid the deer and dogs crossing the road but the deer in particular were "interesting" moments. Early and long day planned for tomorrow. |

Free WiFi?
Just FYI for you CBers, the nearest Starbucks to Hyder is at 2417 Tongass Ave. Ketchikan, AK. It's 120 miles as the plane flies...because that's the only way you're going to get there unless you wait for winter to freeze all the rivers. Not sure you'll be able to catch their free WiFi from Hyder.

No Starbucks but according to one (the only one) rating on Tripadvisor one can get good fish and chips at "The Bus" which is a really a converted school bus. http://www.hyderalaska.com/thebus.html They claim Robin Williams and Hillary Swank ate there.

There in spirit...
Just out of curiosity, who's going to be the first one to get to Hyder? According to http://www.followride.com/, TeacherQuinn is closest. There should be some sort of "1st" patch/sticker/beer mug/prize for the 1st person to get to each stage of the CB.
Actually...does anyone know where Ashrat's purple bear is? That would be kinda awesome if someone took it on the CB...you could 'award' it to the 1st place scoot each day so several people would have the chance to ride with it. |

I have had problems shipping to Canada but since Hyder is in the US it will probably get there in time. It could probably be shipped right to the hotel care of one of the riders. Don't know the name of the hotel though. Maybe someone could chime in.
