Day 16

I had this in my mind for several months that if time allowed, and I got on OK with the Dalton Highway, I might try the Dempster Highway.
After the tough time on the Dalton Highway and then another biker saying that the Dempster is twice as bad, I had decided not to do it.
However, I must have forgotten this decision as today I found myself riding on the Dempster Highway!

The first 170 km were good and relatively easy going, then the surface got worse and wetter too, but eventually I made it to the halfway point at Eagle Plains.
