We are headed to Alaska again this year. This will be trip #3, the first one was in 2011 with the BeamerReamer's as a goal for them to get back on their bike after a severe crash involving a deer in 2010 which put them both in the hospital for about 3 weeks with nearly a year of recovery. On the first trip, getting to Hyder, AK was the goal.
The 2nd trip was in 2016. The planned route for 2016, which we mostly followed:
Hope to update these two photos:
Top of the World Hwy border crossing
Thompson Pass (just outside Valdez, AK)
For the 2018 trip our group expanded to add a Coast Guard buddy of BeamerReamers oldest son, and two other couples for a total of 10 people in the group. The planned route is about the same as 2016 with the main difference is we are planning to head North out of Fairbanks up the Dalton Hwy to at least the Artic Circle monument. We wanted to go all the way to Prudoe Bay, but not likely this year with the extra folks coming along.
Here is our spotwalla link:https://spotwalla.com/tripViewer.php?id=18d825afc5dabd29f9&hoursPast=0&showAll=yes if you would like to follow along. It will go active the morning of 5/24 and remain so through 6/10. I'll try to post to this thread as we can during the trip.
I have posted this on FJRiders.com too https://www.fjriders.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=28&t=3445&p=65306#p65306 I don't know which forum I will be able to post too, but probably will only keep one up to date while on the trip.
