The Trail Ends & Stormy Nights In Fairbanks
/3 Comments/in North America, Travelogue, USA /by allanI was so close. I could nearly taste the Yukon River and the biting cold of those infamous winters that put Fairbanks on the map as the coldest in the country in the deep dark winter. But with virtually endless daylight, I press on pass Eilson Air Force Base, the town of North Pole and […]
Pushing It (gas) To Delta
/10 Comments/in North America, Travelogue, USA /by allan“Gas?” the young lad yelled as he rode his John Deere lawnmower in my direction. I was just 300 yards from the Texaco Station in Delta Junction when my bike puttered to a stop. And the only gas I carried at the time was some remaining white gas (camp stove fuel) for my MSR stove.

Less than an hour outside Haines Junction I climbed a long hill and when I reached the top […]
Late Nights In Watson Lake
/3 Comments/in Canada, North America, Travelogue /by allanCommitted to making it to Watson Lake I blew through the town of Fort Nelson stopping only for refueling. Happy to be adorning my electric vest, I looked at the map and quickly realized that I had another 325 miles to Watson Lake. But here’s where the riding got better. Just a few hours from […]
Onward to Watson Lake
/4 Comments/in Canada, North America, Travelogue /by allanMy phone rings. It’s George at Trail’s End BMW in Fairbanks returning my call. I called George at Trail’s End BMW this morning and inquired if I could use his shop as a shipping address for my computer coming from Apple. “Now read it back to me,” George insisted after giving me his address. “No […]
