Today was last day of work. So I'm leaving tuesday for AZ. First to Tok, then south to Haines to catch the ferry to Bellingham on the 1st of Oct. I'm wimping out on riding thru Canada this late in the season. This bike ain't got heated grips...

Thanks for another good summer. (a bit damp tho).

Do you spend the winters in AZ and summers in Alaska? We live in Mesa and I would love to travel to Alaska. My dream ride is camping off a dual sport while traveling through AK.

I plan to spend part of the coming winter in Tucson. I keep a 1150 GS in Saddlebrooke for winter riding. Should hit town in Febuary. Look for me.

We head to AZ in mid November. Don't think we can handle the heat down there now.......high 90's/low 100's.

Stopped in Glenallen for fuel, and who should I run into?
Yep.

Yep.

Car tire on back? Knobby thing on front? Probably airplane landing lights on it somewhere? That would be my guess.

It might be hard to make out in this photo, but he does have a grin

on his face.

A much better time of year to head for Arizona

than when I did it a month ago.

Been in Haines for a couple days. Getting on the ferry tonite. Had to tuck behind a snowplow on the Cilikat pass. I hope that's the end of snow riding for the rest of this ride.

noshoes · 10-06-2012, 06:07 PM

Got safely into the lower 48. Spent today riding twistie roads in Idaho. Life is good, and 68F without rain.....

I thought you Alaskans spent ALL YEAR in the Great Land. You mean some of you come to America to ride to escape winter. Oh well. welcome to America, enjoy your time in this place we call home. Because we sure enjoy your Country in summer...

Spent over 25 years hanging around here in the winter.......spent the last several winters at our place in AZ.

FotoTEX · 10-08-2012, 05:24 PM

I would do the same. AZ is great to ride in winter, summer not so much. Whereas, Alaska is great to ride in summer but not so much in winter. Enjoy.
