6-15


The trip south to Edmonton was nice and uneventfull. I had lost all sense of the calander for weeks now so I was surprised to find most of the fuel stops closed. My bike is good for about 225 miles when topped and if I am kiond on the throttle. I wasnt today and I was on fumes before I found a station that was open.


During the whole trip in the north, my habit was that as soon as I had traveled 100 miles I was looking for fuel. This worked well and as soon as I deviated I ran into trouble. Lesson learned. For the rest of the trip I stopped every 100 miles or so to re-fill.


I found hard rain as I approached Edmonton and finally dripped into a hotel near the airport around 7. Tomorrow I have to find a tire.
