I did my last motorcycle ride in Alaska for the year. The snow was falling last weekend. I was worried I was going to wake up to a foot of fresh snow in Anchorage, and not have the bike ready for winter. This was on account that I am being snotty and refusing to believe that winter is actually here. … [Read more...]
McCarthy Road, Copper Moose, and Details
Posted on September 9, 2012 · Leave a Comment
I neglected to post the last day on the road from Kennecott a couple of weekends ago. Here are the details: We left the Copper Moose early, the owner made us breakfast. It was very nice and he got up at 5 am to get us out the door early. That was very thoughtful and appreciated. There were not a … [Read more...]
Looking for fall

*My blog has fallen behind! Perhaps stories for times when I’m home bound. Although I did a nice hike in Alaska, some great travels in Utah, and a quick trip to D.C., I’m skipping to this weekend in Alaska. I rolled out of Anchorage today with the goal of visiting the largest National Park in … [Read more...]

Who put a federal holiday in the middle of the week? What is that all about? Since I didn’t want to take any time off, and the holiday didn’t payout a 3-day weekend, I decided that I would dress casual this whole week at work! So there! I also needed a quick get-away. Where do Anchoragites go when … [Read more...]
Souvenirs from Tok

So, I rolled into the driveway (1784 miles later) from my Klondike Loop motorcycle ride. Exhausted enough that I almost couldn't climb off the bike, let alone unpack it, wash it, and do the maintenance needed for the next trip. *Sigh.* It looked like rain. When Jaz and I rolled out of Tok last … [Read more...]

I have been negligent in my blogging duties. I have done some really cool trips recently that I have failed to share. I went mushing in Fairbanks and wore my Go Pro for the first time, and managed to film my crash - nice. I went to Minnesota and Seattle and saw the land of 10,000 rubber duckies. And … [Read more...]

My First Friday has come and gone. I want to thank everyone that came by the shop to visit and make it seem not so lonely. Surprisingly, I had a steady flow of folks trickle in, making the two hours spent on a Friday night pass quickly. I also didn’t have to experience what we all probably dread; … [Read more...]

They drive like amerikanas

We drove the countryside from Rouen to a small town near Alencon, France. The driving has been not too bad, but there are many roundabouts. We have named the GPS Bridget on account of her British accent. Nikole has adopted a British accent and has become a little irritating. She now states … [Read more...]
Chatting with artists, dinner with mermaids, and a growler of China Poot Porter

Headed out of the city this weekend and went south to the coastal town of Homer, Alaska. I have always liked Homer more than any other “get-a-away” spot from Anchorage. As they like to say on their bumper stickers, “A quaint little drinking town with a fishing problem." We headed out of Anchorage … [Read more...]
