26 days later...

Right on, this is much better though it is still border line freezing during the day it is progress... even though I like mud, 400 miles of it could get old... so hopefully things will keep improving... !

a discovery

UMMM yeah, is this even on the planet earth??? I'm excited but hmmm I'm gonna need different tires... (ok I'm not that crazy) gesh...
this is from the Sag River Web Cam at the WERC - North Slope Hydrology Research Project I assume that is the road I will be on... anyway a lot can happen between now and when I get there... ;)

the last few weeks...

some long awaited pictures, this all happened over the last 3 weeks, I changed my spark plugs first then put on the new decals...! and then got the new cases on...! so that sums it up to this point... I'll have more detail later.

TEST

ha so I can send an email to my blog and it will post automatically... this could be useful...

8,500+...?

right so this is basically the route I don't know which way I'd go first I might have to take a ferry into Anchorage depending when I end up leaving... anyway I have a friend that just moved to SanFran so thats the reason behind the coast... plus that'd be a sweet ride... over all I will basically avoid all types of freeway...

to the Artic...

right on, instead of finishing my paper for my one class I started this blog and am writing the first post... this map is pretty much KEY for my entire trip, AK isn't hard to get around since it is a triangle... but this has all the details I need for the fun part !!! anyway everybody look and be jealous... I'm going to order my panniers ("saddlebags") soon !!! I figure I can afford them since I don't get to have fun during spring break next week... but I will make a lot of extra money and maybe catch up on some of my school work...

I got the map off the Alaska BLM site @ http://www.blm.gov/ak/st/en/prog/recreation/dalton_hwy/dalton_maps.html
