Since our time to depart is getting a little closer I decided to put something together that makes some sense to me. I told you a friend of ours that we used to work with at Marshal Fields in Chicago, and shared our life in Jeffery City Wyoming, is coming up from New Mexico to pay us a visit.
Julie and her traveling companion are riding up the Alaska State Ferry System via the inland passage from Bellingham Washington to Whittier Alaska were we will meet them at 6:00 AM in the morning on Thursday June 12, they will spend four very busy days with us and will leave on the morning of Monday the 16Th
As for starting our trip
We are planning to leave on the bike/sidecar on Thursday the 19th and getting to the boat in Haines Alaska by 6:00 PM on the 23rd of June.

Stage 1 Wasilla to Tok Alaska, with the plan of camping the same place we stayed last year

Day Two Continued
We're probably going to stop a little outside of Haines Junction
Last year a fellow was building a campground that had Tepees' we'll probably spend the evening here
 |
| Are next stop is going to be in Haines Alaska. Where we are going to meet up with our intrepid arctic rider friend Bostjan who is temporally living in Whitehorse YT. He is originally from Slovenia and is in the middle of his around the world tour. We're going to visit with him for a bit and then he is planning on going home (Slovenia) to visit he has been gone for eight years no. When he comes back his plans to continue his adventure |

We're leaving Haines Alaska on the 23 of June and arriving in Bellingham Washington on the 27 of June.
Our tentative tour of the Pacific Coast Highway
Last year, during our trip to Prince of Wales Island we met this great couple that were touring Alaska with a Jeep and a tent. Kathy and Bruce Johnston
We talked as often as we could this past year talking about what we were going to do for our summer. I had mentioned I wanted to ride the PCH. Kathy said we'll meet you guys in Bellingham when you get off the ferry. They are over in Belgium right now, but we're looking forward to meeting up with them on the 27th of this month

I was wondering if you were going to D2D this year as it's right about when you were headed out. But it doesn't look like it.
ReplyDeleteWe are headed down to Anchorage tomorrow morning and back up on Friday. Maybe we can meet for lunch if you are going to be in town on Friday...
That would be great, but we have to be back in Wasilla by 2:00
DeleteWow, this trip should be quite the adventure Bob! As to Bostian and his being away from home for eight years.....that's a long time.
ReplyDeleteThat is a long time, but he has been around quite a bit, check out his site
Deletearound the world .si and is doing a pretty good job as being his own sponsor.
We met him in 20010 while I was still on two wheels.
