In other riding news, it looks like Jon has taken a 7 mile detour around Gailbraith Lake.  After getting to a dead-end, he had to go back the way he came.  We’re looking forward to hearing what really happened Jon!

The next town that Jon is due to go through is Wiseman, AK.  Hopefully he’ll find public internet access there.  At his current pace he should be in Wiseman in 2-3 days.
