Alaska Update Day 11

Turned the bikes in on Thursday and wanted to wrap up with a few pictures.  I still have to go through my GoPro video and do some editing.  After that I will probably post it on YouTube and put some links here.

It all went too fast and Jane was even a little sentimental turning her bike in.  The 650 GS's were more than adequate for the trip.  Other than one burnt out headlight, fixed by a quick stop at a NAPA store, they worked great.  All the planning paid off as we had no major glitches on the trip.

Met people from all over the world including Denmark, Holland, New Zealand, Australia, Germany, Spain, Argentina, and the UK.  Probably the strangest thing happened in McCarthy which is in the middle of nowhere 60 miles form the nearest paved road.  Jane and I went into an art gallery and heard people talking about DeWitt and Davenport.  It turned out the owner of the shop  was from Humbolt and the three other patrons were from Dixon, so all 6 of us were from Iowa.

A few more memorable shots. Click on the photos to view in a larger format.


Jane on the Denali Hwy.


The views from the Denali were spectacular


More form the Denali Hwy


The views were 360 degrees


"Pizza Bus" at Kennicott, this type of thing was common


Jane and I on the return air taxi flight to Chitina.


Always looking for a deal.


Ice fields and glaciers over Canada on the way home.


How did we get all of this plus a camera bag on 2 motorcycles?
