Today was another tough day: After breaking down the tent in the rain for the 5th time in a row, I had problems to motivate myself and keep cycling. I decided to listen to some music, which helped a lot. Later in the day I ran into some quite challenging headwinds and it was really hard work to finally reach the valley of the Klondike-River.
Until this point I had no view except for the trees right next to the road. Here I found a nice place to camp right next to the junction with the legendary Dempster-Highway.
