25th Wedding Anniversary - Ride to Alaska!
Saturday, June 15, 2009
In reality, this trip begins twenty five years ago with two young kids a year out of high school. In love and ready to face the world, we get married.
Fast forward to about a year ago. Still married after all these years and as we are celebrating our twenty fourth anniversary, we have the discussion of what to do for our big "25". In the back of my mind, I'm hoping at least for an Alaskan cruise. But she says "How about riding the motorcycles to Alaska?" "Sold! Done! Lets start planning." Did I pick a good one or what?
During the later stages of planning we realized the best plan would be no plan. No reservations. No goals. Just head north and see what happens. If you plan, something will go wrong and then it gets stressful. We both work full time plus, so we don't need any more stress. We want to leave that behind for two weeks.
First day of travel had us leaving our humble abode, two horses, two dogs and three cats. Home is in Battle Ground, WA. We headed for the super-slab to take us quickly north-bound, I-5. Before we made it 20 miles we had to pull in under an overpass to put on rain gear.
By the time we reached down town Seattle, it was stop and go traffic…with a lot more stop than go. We had to suffer through that for almost 20 miles before it finally broke. We stayed on I-5 until Bellingham, where we headed off on HWY 539 North. This led us to a smaller border crossing and an easy connection to Trans Canada Hwy 1 which we were taking to the coast. Going through Canada's Vancouver, we got stuck in more stop and go traffic jam crap. Getting out of the major population areas and all this traffic will leave us with the peace and solitude we are seeking in this trip.
Our mileage for the day was 354 miles.
The bikes, all shiny and new. A just broke in '09 R1200GS Adv for me and a '09 F650GS for Sheila.

Sunday morning, we awoke to an overcast sky. This mornings plans were to run the Sea to Sky Hwy that goes over the mountains and through Whistler in lower British Columbia. There was a lot of construction areas as they prepare for the winter Olympics, but nobody is working on Sunday, so we make good time through the mountains. As we get close to Whistler, I look for a gas station to top off at, not knowing what lies ahead. A few miles before town I see a small station too late to turn into without doubling back. So we head on and into downtown Whistler. A beautiful little community of very wealthy people, but not gas station to be seen anywhere. At the far east end on town we pull over and consult the map. Pemberton is not too far off so we head out again. Pemberton is a nice little town that actually caters to people passing through and has two well marked gas stations and other traveler handy restaurants. So if you are passing through, forget Whistler and leave your hard earned dollars for the folks in Pemberton who deserve it.
The Sea to Sky Hwy is Canadas hwy 99. We stayed on it until it intersected with Hwy 97 North. About a ¼ mile before this intersection is a place called Hatt Creek Ranch. We pulled in there for a late lunch. Not knowing what to expect, we got great service and fantastic food! It was so good, we wanted to camp there just so we could also eat dinner and breakfast there too. For anyone passing through. I highly recommend stopping here. They were also telling us how hot it had been and they sure wished they could get some rain soon.
From there it was Hwy 97 north. Best described as the most boring section of the whole trip. In 30 seconds, you will see what you will be looking at for the next several hundred miles. Right after turning on this stretch of road we were hit with a thunderstorm. Torrential rain, small hail, thunder and lightning. We were soaked within minutes in our waterproof ballistic riding gear. But within an hour of riding through the storm, we were dry again. The evening had us stopping at a RV park/campground where we tried the tenting it thing. It would have been a very nice experience if it wasnt for the hordes of mosquitos constantly attacking us. Surveying all the newly acquired welts the next morning, in addition to Shielas fear of bears, we decided it would be motels the rest of the way.
Dinner that night was across the street at a tavern. We had our first beers of the trip and were totally shocked to be paying $5 per beer for bottled beer.
Mileage for the day was 394 miles.

Monday morning started as packing up the sleeping bags and tent while swatting at the millions of mosquitos. Once underway and on the highly exciting Hwy 97 north we were back into the rhythm of the road and putting on the miles. Prince George was not too far north. Here we turned on Hwy 16 west towards Prince Rupert and the Cassiar. At least the scenery was changing on this road. We stopped for lunch somewhere around Decker Lake at a little roadside restaurant. $7.00 for a grilled cheese sandwich! Inside they were talking about how hot and dry it had been for the last several weeks and they needed rain badly. Ten minutes after lunch we were poured on. For about the next forty miles, nothing but rain. Thirty miles later we were dry. We quickly decided it was best just to ride through the short storms without raingear.
Mid-afternoon found us in New Hazelton. There was a reproduction Indian village, called Ksan, I wanted to check out (mentioned in the Milepost). As a fan of the Northwest Coastal Indian art I had to do it. It did not disappoint, I recommend this stop to anyone with similar interests. With the next towns with any services being a ways away on the Cassiar, we got a motel in New Hazelton. Most of the motels were full due to road construction workers.
Mileage for the day was 317 miles.
Leaving the campground, I had to take a picture of this. Sheila refused to go in it. The campground did have nice washrooms than this.

With just a few miles remaining to the start of the Cassiar, it felt as if the start of the real riding was just beginning. We were pumped! It started raining. We were now used to it. The rain only lasted until the start of the Cassiar.
While doing some quick internet research on the totem poles at New Hazelton, I found a place called Kitwancool just a little ways up the Cassiar. It was an old section of the road and not well marked. We found it and were rewarded by many more nice old totem poles. The road eventually hooks back up with the new Cassiar hwy. This lower section was in fantastic shape and we were able to cruise along at 70 mph, a pace we had been keeping most of the whole trip so far.
Meziadin junction did not have any services, as reported. We turned off on 37a to Hyder and Stewart. Even though it was overcast skies, we could see well enough that we were treated to some incredible scenery along this stretch, by far the best of the trip. Bear Glacier was incredible.
We pulled into Stewart and gassed up. When I went inside to pay, Paradise by the Dashboard Lights by Meatloaf was blaring on the stereo. Had to chuckle at that. Then we crossed into Hyder. There is no border crossing station for this direction. We stopped at the general store for a snacks and something to drink. The owner filled us in about the area and was very helpful. He confirmed where we had to go for the bear viewing area and Salmon Glacier, along with local history. Continuing down the gravel main street, several miles out of town we came up on a black bear in the road, eating berries along the sides. We sat there for a minute watching him, waiting for him to run off. He was less than 50 feet from me. Finally I revved up the GS and inched closer. When I was within about 20 feet he finally gave me a funny look and a big sigh, ran off about 50 feet and then into the bushes (do not try that with brown bears). A half a mile down the road was the bear viewing area where there were no bears. After walking around there, we continued up the road, which is a mining road, to the Salmon Glacier. The viewing points are 17 miles from down town Hyder. There were more bears along the way too, all black bears.
Back in Hyder we had to stop at the infamous Bus for fish and chips and Alaskan Amber. We learned that Robin Williams ate there during the filming of Insomnia. Good eats! Crossing back into Stewart required an official border crossing. We topped off the fuel again as a precaution and headed back for the Cassiar.
Eventually we came to a road construction area where we learned a mud slide came down. It was a 20 minute wait at the flagger. The mosquitos were terrible, but the flag lady was a native Indian that was really funny and enjoyable to talk to. Further down the road we ran across more black bears. Finally we came to a place along Kinaskan Lake that had little cabins. We procured a deluxe cabin that had a bathroom and shower attached. It was burgers for dinner, very tasty after a long day on the road.
Mileage for the day was 393 miles.

We headed out around 7:30 and rode to Dease Lake where we fueled and got breakfast. A little further up the road was more road construction. The flagger lady said there was an injured black bear nearby and he had been hanging for days, but was non aggressive. If he shows up, feel free to jump in my truck for protection. Sheila says If he shows up Im outta here, stop sign or not! The flagger said they figured he was hanging around people for protection from the other bears that would attack him because he was injured. Once we got to go, at the far end of the construction zone we saw him gimping along, not using his left rear leg at all. Several miles later it started raining.
There was a few gravel sections, the longest being maybe 7-10 miles that was in great shape. We slowed to 60mph for it. There were a couple of short sections that were loose gravel, around 30-40 mph to be safe. There was one section of maybe 3 miles that they were crushing the old chipseal surface back to gravel and that was very loose and deep and slow. In the last 20-30 miles of the Cassiar, there were short gravel patches that were like mounds in the road, but not bad going. Overall, the Cassiar proved to be a nice road in good shape, I would take my ZX12R sportbike over it.
We had lunch at the junction with the Alaska Hwy at a little restaurant that only had a couple of tables. And a lot of locals.
Continuing west on the Alaska Hwy was kind of anti-climatic after the scenery of the Cassiar. We rode to Teslin where we fueled up, and decided to stop for the day. We doubled back a few miles to Dawson Peaks Resort where we got the last room. It turned out that almost all the rooms in about a hundred mile stretch were booked by road construction crews. Only those that stopped a little early got rooms, the rest had to keep going.
That night we decided to book the ferry for the return trip, something we wanted to do all along but were on the fence about it because of the price. I tried to make reservations on my laptop, but couldnt get anything to send on through. So we decided to just ride to Skagway the next day and make the reservations in person.
Mileage for the day was 374 miles.

We hit the road the next morning heading for Skagway. We took the cutoff to Carcross where we saw our first moose. We also saw two grizzly cubs and momma griz. Fueling up in Carcross, we met two couples on GSs that were from Columbia South America. They had shipped their bikes to L.A. and rode the rest of the way. Very nice people. Just outside of Carcross we saw another grizzly.
The trip over White Pass did not disappoint. It was the most stunning scenery we had ever seen. Better than Banff or Glacier NP. Do not pass up an opportunity to see this area! When we went through customs coming down off the pass into Alaska, the customs lady warned us that five cruise ships were in town.
We got to Skagway and found the ferry terminal. We were lucky that we were able to get reservations at such a short notice, including a four berth cabin with a sitting room. Then we headed back to a landmark I had spotted on the way in to town, Skagway Brewing. There were so many fricken people in town from the cruise ships we could hardly get motorcycles through. The locals couldnt drive anywhere. Thousands of people clogging the streets. We finally got a beer and lunch though. A nice brewpub, worth the stop. We got one of the last seats as it was full of blue hairs from the cruise ships. Ted Nugent was blaring on the stereo, My Big Ten Inch. We were contemplating trying to stay there a night and enjoy the town, but it was too much of a madhouse we decided to soldier on. It started raining.
Back over the beautiful White pass, through Carcross to the Alaskan Hwy. We decided to stop for the night in Whitehorse since it was big enough to have stores where we could buy tiedowns for the ferry ride without busting the bank. Whitehorse has a Walmart.
To my Sheilas delight, it also has a Starbucks! We get a cheap motel that has laundry facilities and proceed to do chores. We were not impressed by Whitehorse at all (sans the Starbucks) as it is full of graffiti and garbage. Police sirens constantly going off. Drunks wandering around all over.
Mileage for the day was 273 miles.

The biggest surprise of the day for me was waking up in the morning and finding our bikes still there, un molested, and without graffiti.
The highlight of the day for Sheila was that we were able to start our day with coffee and breakfast at Starbucks! From there we headed up Yukon Territory Hwy 2 towards Dawson City. Part of this road follows the mighty Yukon River. We had a few gravel sections, including one that was real soft muddy gravel with ruts in it. It was a short one, maybe half a mile long.
Lunch was at Pelly crossing. Lets just say the locals here were an interesting bunch. Money just can't buy this type of entertainment. You gotta go way out and seek it out. After lunch it started raining. OK, not just raining, the entire sky fell down. It rained so hard all the auto traffic came to a stop in the road until the worst of it was over. Neither one of us could see a thing. All the other rain showers we rode through we just slowed to 65-70 mph. This one brought us to a stop too. Twenty minutes later it was over.
We were dried out by the time we made it into Dawson City. We rode through town looking for a motel and there were a lot to choose from. So Sheila said lets just go to the Visitors Center since they usually have listings for everyone's rates. They were very helpful there and even called around for us checking availability. We got into the Eldorado for a great rate. They had forgot to change their rates at the visitors center, but they had no problem honoring the old rate.
After unloading in our room for the night, we walked the town. Despite being touristy, it is a nice town with lots to see. We walked most of the streets keeping an eye out for a place to eat dinner. The place we wanted to go was a pub and it was standing room only. We ended up at the Drunken Goat Taverna, a Greek restaurant. The food was outstanding, the best meal of the trip to this point. A fresh salad too, something we were both missing. It seemed like the further north we got from the lower US border with Canada, the rarer fresh fruits and vegetables were.
After dinner we went back to the Eldorado for an adult beverage. While in the lounge the power went out in the whole town. But the taps still worked just fine, and without the TV's on, it was back to the locals for entertainment. And that seems to be the best entertainment as it gives you a feel for life in the town. An hour later, power was restored and we went to our room and turned in for the night.
Mileage for the day was 334 miles.
Sheila is happy happy happy! Starbucks, the mark of a civilized world for her.

We walked the town looking for a place to eat. There was a pub close by in another hotel, but it was standing room only. This was our second choice.
The best meal of the trip so far! Gyros and fresh Greek salad.
After dinner we enjoyed happy hour back at the lounge in the Eldorado. I had to laugh this sitting at the back of the bar.

It was kind of a bittersweet awakening this morning. It was the realization the difference a day can make. If the ferry left Haines on Tuesday instead of Monday, we would have the time to get to Inuvik, one place I wanted to get to. It did turn out to be the best day of motorcycling of the whole trip.
After coffee in the motel room (not Starbucks), we went and fueled up at the Shell station. There we met a gentleman from England that was riding from New York to Prudhoe Bay and back. He was on the back part and gave us lots of great advice. From there it was a short ride to the free ferry that crosses the Yukon River. The start of the Top of the World Hwy. Research prior to the trip listed the section of the road in Yukon Territory as paved the whole way. As it turned out, there is only a few short sections of pavement and chipseal. They have let the rest of the road revert to gravel as I guess it is less work and money to maintain. The gravel was in great shape to the US border. The section in Alaska is narrower and rougher, not maintained nearly as well, in other works, a heck of a lot more fun to ride. It was like the logging roads back home. This proved to be the most fun we had riding the entire trip.
Arriving in Chicken, we topped off our fuel and had some snacks. All the tourists were freaked out on how bad the road was, but we were all grins. Several miles out of Chicken, the road was paved with intermittent gravel sections. It started to rain. It began to pour. We rode through some long heavy rain showers, but would dry out between them without using any raingear. The Top of the World Hwy has some incredible scenery along the way. It follows a lot of ridges giving views for hundreds of miles in each direction. There is no way photos can catch the magnitude of this country. You ride through a lot of alpine tundra so there are no trees in the way and you can see hundreds of miles of mountain ranges to the northeast.
At Tetlin Junction we headed southeast on the Alaskan Hwy towards Haines Junction. There are long distances along this section without any signs of civilization, let alone services. At first the road was great, many miles of fresh new pavement. We were making great time. Then near the Yukon border, the road began to get rougher. Old pavement with lots of dips in it. It was fun to ride as long as you stood slightly on the pegs at each of the dips. Once across the border and into the Yukon Territory, there were long stretches of gravel. Gravel that was no so friendly to loaded, heavy adventure touring bikes. Deep gravel, almost like round rock instead of the crushed that packs well. Those sections we had to take at 35 to 45 mph. But it was back to 70-75 in the dip-filled rollercoaster pavement sections. The wind was also howling through these sections. Severe side winds and head winds depending on which direction you were headed.
We pulled into Burwash Landing to see what they had for rooms. Just double beds in all rooms, whether it was one, two or three beds per room. We ate dinner there and then hit the road again. We pulled in at Destruction Bay and checked on rooms, same story, so we headed for Haines Junction.
We finally found a room with a queen bed at the Kluane Park Inn. But it was right next to the tavern and was noisy for late into the night. The bikes were parked right outside our room, but still next to the tavern side door. Despite staying awake most of the night and listening for any signs of tampering with the bikes, the bikes were OK the next day. We did meet Tom from California riding a BWM RT around and learned we would be on the same ferry.
Mileage for the day was 449 miles.

We gassed up across the street, ate some snacks for breakfast and hit the road. We took our time riding since the days mileage was going to be short. We saw several huge fat porcupines along the way. Going over the pass was very, very scenic, but it did not up-stage White Pass. We had our last customs of the trip and the border agent kinda laugher at us for saying how glad we were to be back on US soil for the remainder of the trip. Nothing at all against the great people of Canada, it just feels a lot more like home. After re-entering Alaska, I try to keep the pace at 60 mph indicated (58.5 on gps). Its not an easy task since almost the entire trip was spent at 70 to 75 mph. It began to rain. Luckily though, the rain was short lived.
There is an eagle sanctuary right before Haines. We do not see a single eagle. We have spotted hundreds and hundreds of them along the trip, but not a single one in the sanctuary.
We reach downtown Haines and head for the Visitors Center to get an idea of where to stay. The woman attending the center is not overly helpful, we guess a volunteer vs a paid person in Dawson City, but the rates and motels are listed. We choose Hotel Halsingland that is part of the old military base. We love staying in old historic buildings and while there was certainly much more of a restoration to be done, it did not disappoint.
After booking the room by phone, we headed for the infamous Pioneer. World famous halibut fish and chips. Being somewhat choosey on my fish and chips, this was one of the two places I wanted to eat at on this trip (the other the Bus). We stopped in for just a beer first though as we waited for our room to be ready at the Halsingland. We waited a couple of hours and headed for the hotel, but the room still wasnt ready. No big deal since it was still way early than standard check in time. So we wandered around and took some more totem pole pics, then just laid back in the sun. Finally we got the room, still way early compared to normal check in time. After settling in the room, the highlight of the day was a Fathers Day call back to my dad who probably didnt expect a call since we were on vacation. My wife turned on the TV. The Andy Griffith show was playing. There was a nice cast iron claw foot tub for soaking.
Eventually we walked back into town to the Pioneer for that fish-n-chips dinner. Not bad, not the best Ive had, but the service and the atmosphere were outstanding. Stop and eat here. Ghost Busters was playing on the TV in the bar.
Mileage for the day was 161 miles.

Once inside the room, I check out the bathroom, trying to beat Sheila to the surprise. But there is a nice cast iron claw foot bath tub there. Her favorite!

After a light breakfast, we walked over to a museum that was closed on Sunday. It was a Native American museum where they still carved totem poles.
This days duties were to do laundry and get some groceries to help offset the reported high cost of meals on the ferry. We arrived at the Haines ferry terminal way too soon in the day, but we joined Tom we met at Haines Junction and later Casey and Jason (BWM and Triumph Tiger respectively) for several hours of bench racing and swapping stories. Almost the entire road from downtown Haines to the ferry terminal was under construction and we got to watch them detonate a string of charges under the road to break up the rocks below it. Cool!
We finally loaded they ferry at 9pm and from there the challenge was to secure the bikes with tiedowns so they wouldnt fall over in the next four nights travel.
Mileage for the day was 4.7 miles.
A cedar bentwood box.
I wanted to buy this poster, but there was no good way to get it home on a motorcycle and I didnt want it bad enough to mess around at a post office to get it shipped.
Plans for a totem pole that is being carved in the museum.
Top part looks done.

Tuesday, June 23, 2009 through Thursday, June 25, 2009
This is a very scenic ferry ride that follows the Inside Passage of SW Alaska and British Columbia. There are high mountain glaciers, rocky islands and shorelines. We have seen several bears on the island beaches, porpoises swimming and lots of whales. Sometimes the shore is less than 100 feet away though the narrower channels. This is a sea kayakers paradise. I am in a dream land here! Why can I only get two weeks off a year? We stop in Sitka with a layover of several hours, but we stayed on board with plans not to spoil the suspense for a return trip, Island hopping along the ferry line in a few years. There are other stops in the night, Juneau, Wrangell and Petersburg.
We meet some more interesting people on the ferry. Some of the most interesting is three bikers that boarded in Juneau. They had a rally there, but home to them was Ketchikan. They had lots of interesting stories and one had won almost twelve thousand in a fishing derby that same weekend. He also showed us an actual prescription from his doctor allowing him to do this rally despite a workmans comp claim from his job at the shipyards in Ketchikan. He was ready to be back to work though.
We finally take leave at Ketchikan. We get a cab and take it to the nearest totem park. It is the smallest on in the area, but the closest. It leaves us about a three mile walk back to the ferry, welcome exercise though. We will have to make that return trip for the other two parks. Ketchikan boasts the most totem poles of any of the coastal towns.
One pleasant surprise on the ferry is that meals are more affordable than any other part of this trip, short of the lower 48. With the groceries we did buy, we are only having to pay for dinners. After the stop at Ketchikan, it gets dark closer to a normal time. Sleep will be easier tonight.
The last day the ferry went through the Queen Charlotte Sound. This is an un-protected crossing and the wind was blowing pretty good. There were some decent sized swells. I was surprised when the ferry, being 418 feet long was being tossed around pretty good. We were sitting up at the front viewing area and the bow of the ship had to be going up and down more than twenty feet. It would rock side to side when a lot too when we werent taking the waves straight on. Some people trying to walk around were falling. We could hear stuff crashing to the floor in the galley. Guess I know why we tied the bikes down good now.

The last day of riding. It was a super slab trek south through Seattle, Tacoma, Olympia and Battle Ground. We fueled up shortly after leaving the ferry and stopped for fuel and a quick bite in Tacoma.
Mileage for the day was 273 miles.
Back home.
Killed lots of bugs with the big GS.
The little GS got more than its fair share too.
Thats it. Not a hiccup from either bike, no flats, not even a loose bolt.

Beautiful pictures.

No, really, he is and NO I am not biased.
I would like to introduce you to Leonel (it sounds more like Ya-Nell the way he pronounces it). He is an 11 year old Honduran boy who I met while working at Luna Beach. He came into the dive shop one day in early November to sell pasteles. A pastele is similar to an empanada. It is rice and some mystery meat in a pastry shell. A splash of hot sauce and lunch is ready! At 5 lempiras each, you can having a filling meal for less than $1USD.
Leonel doesn't speak any English and would come into the dive shop with a look of responsibility far beyond his years. I was anxious to learn more about this serious little businessman. Over time I learned that his mother made the pastilles every morning and he took a collectivo (the cheapest form of transport on Roatan; a public bus that vaguely resembles a mini-van) to West End every day to sell the food. He would get in trouble if he came home with food remaining because his mother would think that he spent the day playing rather then selling food to help support the family.
Over several months, we were able to watch Leonel relax around us and by January he finally started to exhibit many traits expected of a boy his age. He would laugh and tease. Although I could speak to him in Spanish, Marc, the dive shop manager could not. Yet, Leonel seemed to yearn for his attention so they managed to devise a sign language that made little sense to anyone but them. Leonel took pride in carrying our dive gear from the boat to the rinse bin…continue Honduras Travel story, Going Diving, here.

Leyton Orient boss Russell Slade said his side were always going to struggle against Premier League club Blackburn following their 3-2 defeat.
Slade believed the npower League One club were facing an uphill task at Ewood Park given their poor league form and the number of injuries they had.
"We came here under difficult circumstances for a League One club striving to get their first win in the league and we had eight players injured, three of them goalkeepers," he said.
"The important thing was to stay in the game and I think we did for long periods.
"It made contest of it and there were moments when maybe it could have been our night but fair credit to Blackburn.
"The performance of Lee Butcher (Orient's goalkeeper) kept us in it."

Apple is attempting to open its own stores in India, as reported by the Business Standard. However, India has regulations that require companies to source 30% of its components from Indian companies. Apple is requesting that this restriction be relaxed so that it can set up stores legally…
According to the report, members of Apple management met with country officials to discuss the problem. A DIPP (the department which controls Indian foreign investment policy) representatives said:
"They (Apple) have clearly told us that they cannot adhere to the sourcing norms as they hardly use any hardware for their products. We have also told them that while the government is keen on investments, it cannot make exceptions. However, we can analyse a company's needs on a case by case basis," a senior DIPP official told Business Standard.
Apple's argument is that iOS devices simply do not have enough hardware inside to be able to source 30% from Indian companies. Apple is also unlikely to want to change manufacturing processes for just one region. Without a change to policy however, a first-party entrance into the country is impossible. For the time being, Apple is relying on its reseller program in the country for its retail presence. In October, it was reported that Apple was planning to open 100 franchise locations in India.

Its ridiculous from the govt's part. When they put restrictions for Walmart, its understandable. But for Apple, they already sell those products in India, only through other retailers. Its absurd to say that u need to source 30% from india, when the product is already available in India. Just to setup a store they need to manufacture in India?? ridiculous.

Arsenal frozen outSun, 20 Jan 2013 4:31 PM
Chelsea put Arsenal's top-four challenge on ice with a 2-1 win over their London rivals at snowy Stamford Bridge on Sunday.
Rafael Benitez's side raced into a two-goal lead within the first 16 minutes thanks to Juan Mata's strike and a Frank Lampard penalty and then weathered the storm in freezing temperatures as Arsenal threatened a second half fightback.
Theo Walcott's cool finish gave Arsenal hope of salvaging a point, but the Gunners now languish 11 points behind third placed Chelsea and six adrift of fourth placed Tottenham, who could extend that advantage when they face Manchester United later on Sunday.
Arsene Wenger's side have won only one of their last five matches and another frustrating season looks set to be reduced to a struggle to qualify for the Champions League.
With heavy snow settling across London throughout Sunday morning, it was briefly feared the match may have to be postponed, but it went ahead as scheduled, giving Chelsea a chance to cure their home sickness.
The Blues had won just one home league game under interim boss Benitez and recent defeats at the Bridge against QPR and Swansea had further strained the Spaniard's already frosty relationship with Chelsea's supporters.
Arsenal desperately wanted to take advantage of that mutinous atmosphere, but, not for the first time in his short Arsenal career, French striker Olivier Giroud failed to rise to the challenge, firing well wide from a good position in the early stages.
It proved a costly miss as Chelsea took the lead in the sixth minute thanks to a goal laced with controversy.
Ramires won possession from Francis Coquelin, but it appeared the Chelsea midfielder caught his Arsenal counterpart on the foot in the process.
With Wenger and Arsenal's players appealing in vain for a foul, Cesar Azpilicueta lofted a pass towards Mata and the Spanish midfielder ran clear of the woefully out-of-position Bacary Sagna before firing his shot into the roof of the net.
Fuelled by a burning sense of injustice, Arsenal flooded forward in search of an equaliser and Santi Cazorla's stinging strike from long-range forced a fine save from Petr Cech.
But Arsenal's task got even harder in the 16th minute when their defensive frailties were exposed yet again.
Standing statuesque on the edge of the penalty area, Arsenal's defenders allowed Mata to clip a pass to the unmarked Ramires and the Brazilian was sent crashing to the turf by Szczesny's despairing lunge.
Referee Martin Atkinson gave a penalty and Lampard calmly sent Szczesny the wrong way from the spot to double Chelsea's lead, giving another reminder of his value as the club's hierarchy debate whether to offer the England international a new contract.
Ramires could have put the result completely beyond doubt before half-time, but the Brazilian blazed over after skipping past a powderpuff challenge from Kieran Gibbs.
Arsenal had been woeful in the first half, yet they were a team transformed after the break.
Showing more desire and vision in the final third, they created early chances for Per Mertesacker and Giroud and, although neither converted, it was enough to change the momentum of the match.
Their pressure was rewarded when Walcott, playing for the first time since agreeing a new contract, pounced in the 58th minute, sprinting onto Cazorla's pass and dispatched a clinical finish past Cech.
Chelsea had blown a two-goal lead against Southampton in midweek and the Blues' nerves were clearly jangling as Arsenal probed for an equaliser.
Substitute Demba Ba should have eased the anxiety in the closing stages when the striker's shot was cleared off the line by Thomas Vermaelen, but Chelsea were just able to hold on.

"Super Bowl 47 on CBS is brought to you by Mr. and Mrs. Jack Harbaugh."That could be Jim Nantz's opening line next February when Super Bowl VLVII begins in New Orleans. It could be the second annual Harbaugh Bowl with the San Francisco 49ers vs. the Baltimore Ravens.Married for more than 50 years, Jack and Jackie Harbaugh have 3 children, including sons John and Jim Harbaugh. John, of course, is the head coach of the Ravens. His younger brother, Jim, is the head coach for the 49ers.If the two brothers face off on the field again, it would be the second coming of the Harbaugh Bowl. The 2011 season brought us the inaugural event when the Ravens defeated the 49ers 16-6 on Thanksgiving evening. The two teams, in separate conferences, are not scheduled to meet this year. So the Super Bowl is the only possible venue for the Harbaugh Bowl this season.Could it really happen? Absolutely.Both squads have winning records and dominating defenses.

In the dead of night you see something running through the graveyard. It's a zombie, but unlike you've ever seen before. A big, offish green dude, with a goofy smile, and he's running from the villagers with torches and pitchforks. In Zombie Runaway it's your job to guide the goofy zombie through endless gravestones.
The zombie runs automatically, all you have to do is tap on the left, right, or jump buttons. There are three lanes to run in, so you only need to tap once to move away from a gravestone. The game is extremely fast moving, and continuously picks up the pace. Therefore you'll need to have quick reactions in order to maneuver through the gravestones.
There are multiple types of gravestones, some of which you can't dodge, and others you can't jump over. Luckily there are boosts along the way that will let you slam right through them. The boosts are more powerful than they sound: ride a blow up horse, a bicycle, or a jet pack. You also get bonus points for crushing consecutive graves.
Coins are scattered throughout the graveyard and are essential to the gameplay. They act as a combo multiplier to really amp up your score, and will continue to multiply into you plow into a headstone. However, they don't really fit in with the graveyard theme.
So, your main objective is to run as long as possible by dodging or jumping over gravestones, and collecting as many coins, and boosts as you can along the way.
There are two different game modes: Normal and Blitz. Normal mode gives you three heart points to lose. Blitz mode is a hectic 60 second run with more boosts, coins and gravestones.
Game Center online scores and achievements are nicely included for an endless score based game. The achievements also correlate to unlocking special items for the zombie to wear including a T-Rex head.
Zombie Runaway is a hectic, eclectic non stop run for your life – except for you're already dead, since you're a ZOMBIE! The zombie has the pedal to the medal, and is only going faster. You'll be madly tapping the screen to dodge and jump gravestones while collecting what you can. The engaging nature of the game will have you replaying as soon as you lose.
The controls are well placed, so you can swiftly tap back and forth. You only have three possible moves so it does get a bit dull after awhile. It would be nice to see more variation with the gravestones or another mode. Also there are signs on the side of the road with no purpose, but could be good checkpoints.
Both game modes have completely different gameplay, and add some variety to the endless game style. The 3D visuals are well made, and the goofy zombie animations are always funny. The game's perspective is like running deeper into the screen, and is quite immersive. The included soundtrack is a fast paced mix of horror and silly sounds.
Zombie Runaway ($0.99, Universal) is worth picking up, and for only $0.99 you'll have a roaring good time.

People on the Rockaway peninsula, in southeastern Queens, are preparing for winter storm Nemo after getting hit hard by Hurricane Sandy in October.
Fred Weinzweig, 70, said it's just raining there right now [Friday 3 p.m.].
"I'm not too worried about getting around, I'm just worried about getting electricity, and the bus service," he said. With subway service between the peninsula and mainland Queens, bus service is essential to residents.
If the buses stop running, "You're literally trapped here on the peninsula," he said.
James Naus, who lives in Roxbury, said he sent his employees home for the day after the freezing rain became too much.
Naus has a unique perspective on the storm.
"The television gets people scared these days," he said. "I was just telling my father, when I was younger and this type of storm was coming, people used to be happy, go get your sleighs and stuff like that."
The neighborhood has been slowly recovering in the extended aftermath of Sandy and more and more cars are in the parking lot, said Naus. "It's a good feeling" to see, he said.
Robert Hilldebrand, meanwhile, said a lot of businesses haven't opened today in his neighborhood of Rockaway Park.
He, too, is not very worried, after living for a spell in New Orleans.
"When you've survived Katrina, you'll survive anything," he said, chuckling.

With Rackspace's Cloud Monitoring Service you can check the availability of remote web services by attempting to create an active connection to a specified port (a "Check"). You may use Cloud Monitoring Checks on any IP address (or related hostname) that you own, whether hosted by Rackspace or at another location. You can also install the Rackspace Cloud Monitoring Agent onto certain Rackspace Cloud Servers to perform server-based Checks. If you have purchased a Managed Service Level for your Rackspace Cloud account, eight (8) Checks are included for no additional charge.
Service Level Agreement. The Rackspace Cloud Monitoring Service will be available 99.9% of the time in any given monthly billing period, excluding Scheduled Maintenance. For the purposes of this guarantee, the Rackspace Cloud Monitoring Service is considered available if it performs properly configured Checks and notifies you of any failed Check within 30 minutes of performing the Check.
Credits. If we fail to meet a guarantee stated above, you will be eligible for a credit equal to 10% of your monthly recurring fees for the Cloud Monitoring Services for each 30 minutes during which the Cloud Monitoring Services failed to meet the guarantee stated above, after the first 0.1% of unavailability, up to 100% of your monthly recurring fee for the Cloud Monitoring Services.
If you have a Managed Service Level account, you will receive a credit equal to the greater of the remedy described above or a one-time credit of £ 6,00. For example, if the Cloud Monitoring Service does not meet the guarantee stated above, and you do not have a recurring monthly fee for the Cloud Monitoring Service because you are only using the Checks included as part of your Managed Service Level, then you will receive a credit of £ 6,00.
Credit Requests. To receive a credit, you must request a credit via your Rackspace Cloud control panel within thirty (30) days following the failure of a Check.
Limitations. You are not entitled to a credit if you are in breach of your services agreement with Rackspace (including your payment obligations to us) until you have cured the breach. You are not entitled to a credit if downtime would not have occurred but for your breach of your agreement with Rackspace or your misuse or administration of the Services. You are not entitled to a credit for unavailability or outages resulting from denial of service attacks, virus activity, hacking attempts, or any other circumstances that are not within our control.
"Scheduled Maintenance" means maintenance that is announced at least ten business days in advance, and that does not exceed sixty minutes in any calendar month.
This Service Level Agreement is your sole and exclusive remedy for the failure of the Rackspace Cloud Monitoring Service.
Notwithstanding anything in this Service Level Agreement to the contrary, the maximum total credit for the monthly billing period, including all guarantees, shall not exceed 100% of your Cloud Monitoring Service fee for that billing period. Credits that would be available but for this limitation will not be carried forward to future billing periods.
Fees. Although you may utilise and configure Rackspace Cloud Monitoring Checks via an API, please note that you will still be billed in accordance with the fee schedule at: www.rackspace.co.uk/cloud-monitoring/
Limitations on Use. You may not configure Checks against IP addresses that you do not own, and while you may configure Checks against dynamic IP addresses you must disable or modify the applicable Checks when the target IP is re-assigned (for this reason we suggest that you point any Check running against a dynamic IP target to a DNS entry that is updated when the target IP changes).
This Service Level Agreement is part of the Rackspace Cloud Terms of Service and the AUP, and is subject to the terms and conditions stated in those documents.
