The ride into Valdez was stunning to say the least. More pics forthcoming once we get a decent internet connection...currently tethered to my iPhone.
Sad day as Pan and I are turning south and heading home. It has been an damn fine trip thus far!

Route 8 is the Denali HWY. Best ridden from Paxson to Cantwell. In that direction Denali (the mountain) is right in your face shield for half the ride. Route 8 was once the entrance road to Denali National Park until the Parks HWY was built in the early 70s. About 135 miles with 115 being dirt, but normally well maintained and rideable on street bikes.

George and I are in Prince George,Tired and running 400 miles south tomorrow then home on Thursday.
Will start working the report when we get home, we have been running 300 mile days staying places that either don't have internet or so slow downloading isn't worth it. Also just didn't really care to think that much!
Two more days and back to my honey do list that I know is very long and G is headed back to work Monday.
Tires are about shot but no flats both of the bikes need the seal mate to clean out the fork seals.

Don't let the travlers [Panman & escapefjrtist] tell you they roughed it all the time on this trip. Lots of us have stayed at this awesome place. For you folks in the know, the walking path use to be a railroad track.
Hope you last day on the road is awesome.

I escorted them down the Westside Road this morning at what was probably a spirited pace on squared-off knobbies, but they were all smiles when we said goodbye - ride safe boyz!

Enjoying the pictures look likes like a great trip. Wish I could say I wasn't jealous, but I am. Dang work gets in the way of all the fun stuff.
