Wish I could manage Alaska this year! I REALLY need to retire!

Have a great trip!

 

[escapefjrtist]

Y'all in group two have a safe ride!

With any luck we'll cross paths as Panman and I are headed south... Phone will be on and working wherever there's coverage.

George and myself left yesterday to pretty much a typical North Wet day, one of those days that it either pissed you off that it was raining or oh this isn't to bad as I'm drying out. Went thru about three cycles of that but arived in Williams Lake, BC pretty much dry.

Stopped in Hope for George's photo opp, he wanted to play Rambo.

On and off wet day on the way to Williams Lk

But today was just awesome, sunny and 80 by the time we got to Smithers.

George and I'll start a Alaska post here shortly.

PS, the weather is looking good for an attempt on Deadhourse!!

George, you fit the rambo image rather well. Must be your days in special ops.

Three of us are currently in Kenora, Ontario. Further westward today.

I was pleasantly surprised by the scenery so far. I wish our roads back home were in half as good a shape.

Took a little left turn, currently in Bismarck, ND.

Find some nice roads before heading north.

Your timing is good. The weather in this part of the world has been exceptionally crappy for the past week. It is now looking good for the next week.

Did some touring around the badlands in ND and currently in Red Lodge. More touring tomorrow and then heading north.

(Definitely like the 80 mph highway posted limits in Montana)

escapeFJRist and Panman are currently riding the Top of the World Highway and just about to cross the border into Alaska.

 

[Canadian FJR]

Another fantastic day. Rode Bear Tooth to the border and then the long way around through Yellow Stone. Animals and great roads galore. Currently in Helene, Montana. Back into Canada tomorrow.

George and Kevin made it into Fairbanks last night via the Top of the World Hwy. They are on the move already this morning and headed up the Dalton Hwy to Deadhorse. I assume with the early start 7AM local time, they are going intending to get to Deadhorse today.

looks cold, but decent weather

At those temperatures and lack of direct sunshine, mud shouldn't be a problem on the unpaved parts (at least not near Deadhorse). Hope they don't hit ice. Somewhat warmer nearer Fairbanks...

(I wonder if there has been much recent precipitation?)

They are both on their Super Tenere.
They seem to be making good progress. They are currently about 20 miles north of the Artic Circle monument and about 250 miles south of Deadhorse
