No photos tonight. Sorry. Actually I have some but the internet is so slow here that I will save them for later and hope that I can get this post out easily by just text. We are in Haines Junction, Yukon Territory tonight, camped in a campground on the edge of town. It is absolutely stunning all around here. I …
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. One of the things I noticed when we got into Alaska from the Yukon was the level of prosperity rose exponentially. I don’t understand why but it was significant. The …
Beginning the Long Ride Home on the Long Ride North
We sadly left Homer, Alaska yesterday to begin our Long Ride Home. It’s been an amazing ride and we have no regrets other than to wish we had more time. When I gassed up in Homer, the mileage indicator on the Harley showed 4042 miles since we left Montrose, CO. Last night we were in Wasilla in the same room …
The Spit at Homer, AK on The Long Ride North
Tonight, Saturday, June 28th, 2014 finds us camped on the spit at Homer, Alaska on the last day of our Long Ride North. Tomorrow we turn around and start the Long Ride South.

Seward, Alaska on the Long Ride North
Just when you think the scenery can’t get any better, it does. We had a beautiful ride from Wasilla to Seward yesterday. We even managed to take the rain gear off and enjoy some sun shine. The weather outlook called for a chance of rain so we opted for a hotel room and managed to score one right on the …

We are experiencing technical difficulties at this time. Regular programing will resume as soon as possible. In the meantime, we will don our rain gear once again saddle up for …
We Made to Alaska on the Long Ride North
Well, we made it to Alaska. Here’s the proof. It is a long road. 3261 miles from my door in Montrose, Colorado to the state line where we took this photo. The road from Destruction Bay, Yukon Territory to here was in pretty bad shape. We were warned of the frost heaves before we left Colorado. Then at the cafe …
Destruction Bay, Yukon Territory
Yes, I know, it’s been awhile since I updated you good folks. Sorry, but I have found that internet access is very limited when you can find it. I’ll try to catch you up here and now. We are in Destruction Bay, on Lake Kluane in the Yukon Territory. It has been a long ride. Destruction Bay is past Whitehorse, …
Reflections from the Road on the Long Ride North
I’m sitting around the campfire this morning thinking about our ride so far and thought I’d share a few of my thoughts on this Long Ride North. First off is that it’s a long way to Alaska. I think we still have 3 more days before we cross the border. Second is that the farther north we go it becomes …
Another Day on the Long ride Norh
Still in the S L O W internet lane which makes it impossible to do anything with photos. Here’s some more boring text. Made it to Ft. Nelson today. We’ve got a great camp spot in the Triple G Hide-A-Way cmpground. Skeeters are a little pesky but nothing 100% DEET can’t handle. It was a n interesting ride today. The …
