Srtarted in 09?....and you still in Alaska?

Surely an adventrue awaiting you Earl. God's Speed and happy picture taking. Looking forward to the written tales of this trip.
Yep, sounds like a real adventure awaits you Earl.
Travel safe and keep those pics coming.
I'd be very bloody careful if taking the Darien Gap.
Just watched a Doco on National Geo where a few Back Backer where taken by the revolutionaries.
They where warned not to go but being young dudes thought they where Bullet proof.
Watch out Earl. Dangerous territory down there and Foreigners make great hostages.
lucky bastard, Argentina is definitely the place to goOriginally Posted by Mr Earl
Righto,
Day 1;
departed Anchorage Wednesday morning to a lovely bone chilling rain shower. Go to Palmer (near Wasilla) and the clouds began to break a bit.
And a no moto shot for Bobby!
Here's the bad girl fully loaded!
Between breaks in the rain got some lovely scenery of glaciers and such.
Tundra trucks heading out for hunting season.
Pretty streams
Fading fireweed
Stayed that night at the Tok motorcycle campground.
Had a choice of the bunkhouse.
The wall tent
Or the teepee
I ended up sharing the bunkhouse with this interesting fellow riding a very nice 1975 Honda CB500T.
nice update Earl. Thanks. pictures are great.
Day 2
into the Yukon.
was also a cold wet day.
At the Burwash Landing
Burly wood gates.
It was a fairly chilly ride with rain and fresh snow in the mountains.
The signpost jungle!
BC.
Tasty criter
Day 3
the weather finally got a little better.
Into Alberta
Got bored riding this super hwy.
In favor of some rural hwy
Great photos and adventure Earl, had to open up a map of the area to see where you are going, keep it coming and stay safe.
Safe journey Earl
Very good stuff Earl. Remember hot / humid Thailand when you're passing thru those cold spots!
Great pics.
It looks cold and grey in some of those earlier ones, lovely.
Great trip and looking forward to all the adventures.

Notebook, GPS, and an ATT sim card (which is no good in Canukistan), no sat phone, that would be cool. I think it's too expensive!are u carrying a notebook, Solar chargers, gps and sat phone so ur never out of Touch?
