Just a quickie post before I turn in for the night. This is Thursday night, July 10th, 2014. We are in Pocatello, Idaho camped for the night. Although it was a beautiful ride down I-15 today from Helena, MT on the return from the Long Ride North, I have no photos or video for the day. I can’t believe it. …

Leaving Alaska on the Long Ride North
We are back in Tok, Alaska on our way out of Alaska on the Long Ride Home. We will cross into the Yukon today. Seems like we were just here.
