I rode my bike to Eagle Alaska (loaded touring) then took the ferry to Dawson and rode home. Going West from Whitehorse I ran out of water. I had a filter but there was simply no lakes or streams and eventually I completely bonked. Sat on the side of the road pretty much unable to go further. I held up my empty bottle to beg water for quite some time. A woman passed me with hardly a glance and returned about 30min later with water. She had none but went and got some. How nice was that?
