In last nights post I said we had traveled 3279.8. I was tired. It should have read 8279.8. Thanks for the understanding. I will say that it was quite nice to wake up in my own bed this morning.
The End is Here for the Long Ride North
Today the Long Ride North came to an end…at least the physical part of the ride. We are back home after 8279.8 miles and 28 days. I have to say that I’m ready for a break. I think I’ll take the rest of today and tomorrow off and then on Monday I’ll start to get on with the rest of …
No News is Good News on this Long Ride North
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. …
Back in the US of A!
Here we are in wonderful Montana just on the edge of the Blackfoot Nation. We crossed into the USA yesterday on the return from our Long Ride North and spent the night at West Glacier. Three times, in years past while in the area, we have tried to do the Going to the Sun road over Glacier National Park. Once …
Jasper National Park, Alberta, Canada on the Long Ride North
We are camped in Jasper National Park, Alberta, Canada this morning. When we left on the Long Ride North, Jasper seemed to be such a along way off. Now that we are here again on the way back home in the closing days of our ride, we are thinking that it is close to home even though we are over …
Catching up on the Long Ride North
This morning I mentioned we should be in Prince George tonight. Well we didn’t quite make it. We are about 60 mile shy in a small town called Vanderhoof. I had to get an oil leak looked at in Smithers earlier and that set us back about an hour. All is good with the bike however. I got the oil …

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 …
