Alaska Caper -- Day 3

June 6, 2007
Posted by: Dick Wilson

Start: West Richland, WA
Destination: Desert Aire, WA

The morning and early afternoon today were spent in search of a replacement for Steve’s
defective radio headset. He could hear messages delivered from my unit, but he could not talk back to me. We finally decided to call Whitehorse Gear in Conway, New Hampshire, where we had purchased the headsets. They will be sending them overnight to us, with any luck, to be picked up Friday morning in Bellingham, WA, before we get on the Alaska Marine Highway’s flagship, Columbia, northward bound to Haines and Skagway. The wind today was worse than yesterday. We felt like ping-pong balls in a clothes dryer. After fighting the wind for over one hour, we decided to pack it in, get a good night’s rest and get an early start riding in the morning.
