I stood at the intersection for about an hour. One road went towards Paxson and the other to Anchorage. A couple of cars did stop, but no one was going all the way to Paxson. Most of them were going only a couple of miles, where the dirt road started. I figured out, it would be better if I asked for a ride after that junction. The photo shows the junction where the paved road ends and the dirt road begins. Those few miles were the transformation. The weather cleared, my spirits cheered, my bicycle geared. I decided, that I should continue on biking for as long as I could, hoping to find someone passing by who could give me a ride.
