I have read so many ride reports by other motorcyclists and have seen so many pictures of Alaska and some of the places we have been, but to be living and doing it all ourselves is a whole other story. The vastness of the Alaskan Tundra is almost overwhelming. We feel so small when riding…
July 14th 2011 I was up really early this morning about 0430. Guess you can say I was anxiously awaiting to get back on the road and see what the Dalton Highway was all about. We checked out by 0620 and were on our way to Prudhoe Bay. It’s a long ride to the actual…
Staying at Boreal Lodging. An oasis in the middle of nowhere. Much better than staying in Coldfoot! We also got our token pictures of the Arctic Circle #2 today. That is two Circles in one trip! 🙂 We still need to see if we can get on a tour of the Arctic Ocean. We just…
Got a decent sleep and just waiting to pack up after Cheryl wakes. Prudhoe Bay here we come! Arctic Circle #2!
July 13th 2011 Left the dorms early this morning to ride up to Chena Hot Springs for a quick tour of the Ice Museum. Some info about where we went today and then pictures. ICE MUSEUM CHENA HOT SPRINGS Fairbanks, Alaska is the capital of ice art in the world and home to the World…
July 11th & 12th 2011 Ever wonder how one sleeps in Alaska when the sun barely goes down? Yep eye shades or eye goggles as Leslie would say and ear plugs when you are in a noisy campground. Just thought I would add this in for a little hint for those wondering and needed some…
While waiting on our laundry. Exciting night for us lol
Thanks again to everyone who is donating to ACT. There have been thousands of hits to our BLOG and FB page. If everyone even donated $5 ACT would be rich! Thanks again for donating in the name of our ride and we can not wait to hand over a cheque when we get back!
(If you happen to buy this bike because of our trip, maybe mention it to your dealer, thanks) I need to preface this so-called “review” by saying this is not expected of us to even talk about the bikes. Triumph never said you had to review the bikes as part of this “deal”. As a matter…
Cheryl had a drink with this toe in it!
July 10th 2011 What better way to start the day off with a tiny little ferry ride from Dawson City to the other side of the Yukon. This ferry seems to be a vital mode of transportation for anyone wanting to head to the Top of The World “Highway” to Chicken, Tok and then back…
July 9 2011 Budgets? When we set out of a trip like this money is always on our minds. We always think we will save with lodging and food. In reality what happens when traveling on a motorcycle it goes something like this….you ride up the Dempster and are exhausted and hungry. You see a…
No full Blog entry tonight, too tired. But I will tell you this….the Dempster is a road to be taken seriously when riding in the pouring rain. We rode in slippery crap for well over 300 KM, standing on the pegs just trying to keep the bikes upright in the snotty mess. A rider lost…
