Fears
Everyone tells me that I should watch out for the bears or they will eat me.
Or to watch out for the boggie man because he will sneak up on me in the middle of the night and kill me And the people that actually do get out side and travel tell me that I should watch out for things like moose and dear as they will be my biggest threat to my safety (and I will agree with that). But there is something that I fear more than anything and I hope to conquer this fear soon enough........and that is getting wet and not being able to get dry. I know this might sound crazy but I am from So Cal and we don't see a lot of rain. I know I am going to get rained on on my travels. But when will I have an opportunity to dry things out? Will my tent be waterproof? Will my sleeping bag get wet? And if so, how will it ever dry out if I have to pack those things away? So many questions. I know once I cross up in to Canada, I am going to see rain and I just need to figure out a system. I don't have the time to wait a day for things to dry. I am not staying in hotel rooms at night to string out my wet clothes in the room. I am sure it will not be a big deal but I would love to hear your thoughts on this even if it is to tell me to stop being a big pussy and man up........it's only water! |

Rain!!
Well, I survived the rain and didn't get wet.
I learned to put on the rain suit BEFORE the rain starts. And it didn't rain that night so my tent stayed dry. I am looking at good weather for the next week so its time to enjoy the blue skies and have some FUN! Here's some more pictures |

Northern California and Southern Oregon
The Lost Coast (north of Fort Bragg.......where the pavement ends and the fun begins)
 My camp spot along the lonely road to Petrolla along side of the road. I was able to sneak my bike around the barricade and snag this spot all to myself that night  The bumpy road in to Petrolla

Putting the adventure in adventure riding
I look at others blogs. And I have spoken to others that have done the same trip to Alaska. It seems that most people rush up there and rush back and miss the journey along the way. I am doing the opposite. The whole point of my trip is not just to say I did it and strike Alaska off my bucket list. It is to see this beautiful country from off the saddle of my motorcycle.
I have been traveling for over a week now and just crossed in to Oregon from my home in So Cal. !500 miles so far. I have been taking routes that I am sure no other person has gone on their way to Alaska. I want to make sure I don't miss anything along the way. And get off the interstate. I have the time. I am not rich by any means. I am camping and staying with friends along the way. I am hoping to meet some new friends so I don't wear out my tent. Enjoy the ride Enjoy the journey Enjoy the adventure |
