I left Anchorage today with a destination of Tok, Alaska. I am headed up to Eagle to visit Yukon Charlie National Park and Preserve. The road leading up to Eagle is dirt, and I have been warned that when they spray the road with magnesium chloride to keep the dust down, it can get dangerous when … [Read more...]

Well! The weekend started with a bang! I trimmed the workweek by one day and started my weekend early. The idea hatched in my brain and quickly spread to the mind of my riding partner, Jaz. Let’s do a weekend of riding and photography in Kenai, Alaska! Why Kenai you ask? Well, it so happens that a … [Read more...]

Morning chickas...(and chicos), I decided to take a ride north and examine the cold wet roads of Alaska by motorbike. What better way to enjoy Easter than on the road. Jaz and I headed out of Anchorage to Palenville. It actually took a while to negotiate the heavy traffic build-up in this bottle … [Read more...]
I’ve been off the grid – Montana worse than Alaska!

Sorry for not keeping up to date. It appears that both Montana and Idaho are filled with deep holes that prevent you from communication using modern devices. Last Friday, I rode out of Salt Lake with trusty Zuma (GPS) leading the way. Now Jaz in Alaska says Zuma/Zumo is from the Raven Trickster … [Read more...]

I spent the whole day working in Tooele, Utah; quaint little town with a Taco Bell and one coffee shop. You laugh, but some of the towns in Alaska have neither. The coffee shop, Janna’s Java, actually dished out a fairly decent cup. It sits on the corner in a little pink shack that only allows … [Read more...]

I traveled this last weekend from Salt Lake City, Utah to Burley, Idaho on mostly back roads. I figured, with the exception of about 30 miles, it was nearly freeway free. Julie traveled from Boise to Burley and reported the same thing; about 3o miles was required on the freeway (the rest can be done … [Read more...]

So, TSA wanting to ensure I wasn't packing explosives(?), took the liberty of opening one of my bags of coffee. Now, they did seal it back up... sort of. All my clothes smell like coffee now. But this is okay! There are worse things to smell of... I landed in Utah earlier today, and right when I … [Read more...]

My compadres continued traveling today across the nations while I worked in a tiny office in Anchorage. Updates on the Wandering Alaskans: Michael called in from Skagway, Alaska. He said he finally got a small patch of dry weather and rolled into Skagway pretty damp, but warm. ديبوزيت He was … [Read more...]

Several folks are currently doing separate adventures out there. They all started alone, and I will cross paths with some of them when I start mine. Michael rode out Sunday from Anchorage and is riding to Skagway, Alaska where he is ferrying down to Prince Rupert. He is getting off the ferry and … [Read more...]
