Day 5 - Home
The last morning of the trip I wake up by the river. I open the tent and enjoy the view. Am I really going home? Well, the fine weather is coming to an end. Rain and thunder are on their way. I have alternative paths.
1) via Vansbro (same as I drove in the other direction) Beautiful road.
2) via Mora and then via Siljansnäs. Beautiful too.
3) via Mora and then via Rättvik. Shortest. But then I have to go through Mora. Where there is traffic chaos due to halted road construction.
I choose option 2. I make a stop inside Mora. At the Vasaloppet finish. My DL 650 has to finish under the famous motto. "In the footsteps of fathers for future victories" Just outside Mora, the Red Wings Mora MC club has its own clubhouse. There, motorcyclists can spend the night, easily and cheaply. There are a number of options. Tent in the woods behind the clubhouse. If you can handle the amount of mosquitoes. Bed in dormitory, upstairs in the house. Or in a cabin for 2 or 3-4 people. I have no plans to spend the night there. But I go to the clubhouse for a coffee and a sandwich. It will be the last stop before home.
On the way to Siljansnäs, there is a burning car. The driver and a person from the rescue service are standing a good distance away and watching, and they can do nothing but watch the car burn up. Shortly after, I meet 2 fire trucks. I later find out that the fire trucks closed the road during the extinguishing work. So I just passed by, before the road was closed. In the afternoon I arrive at the cottage in Säl. After a journey that has given mental rest and charge. A journey of 1 320 km, which was successful, and which I appreciate very much.
