Glaciar National Park – Peace.
/5 Comments/in North America, Travelogue, USA /by allanWas today a late start or a lazy start? I’m just not sure. But I crossed the border into Montana early this afternoon. And this tardy start would have me riding through fog, chilly whipping winds, near freezing temperatures at 6000 ft. and in the dark for more than an hour. But it was worth […]
The Icefields Parkway – Glory to the Gods!
/0 Comments/in Canada, North America, Travelogue /by allanStaying at the Lazy Bear Lodge here in Cranbrook which sits in BC about 50 miles North of the Idaho border. I pulled into this town thinking I’d have a better shot at a hotel room. I’ll have to retrace about 20 miles in the morning to get closer to the border crossing into Montana […]
Prince George to Jaspar – Warmer Weather?
/9 Comments/in Canada, North America, Travelogue /by allan“This is my loader,” he waved his cell phone in front of me, happy to show me pictures of his truck, his loader and the El Camino he was restoring. I returned the infamous Starbucks where I traded words, philosophy and frustration with the Brazilian girl weeks earlier. This time I shared coffee with Dag. […]
Prince Rupert to Prince George – Home Again!
/5 Comments/in Canada, North America, Travelogue /by allanThe road from Prince Rupert to Prince George is yet another spectacular motorcycle riding experience. At least if the your bike was running smoothly. Mine? Even pulling off to refuel demands more attention to keeping the engine running which leaves equal less attention to keeping your eye on safety. Perhaps I’m exagerating a bit, but […]

/2 Comments/in North America, Travelogue, USA /by allanWith a two-hour layover in Sitka, I decided to venture into the former capital of the Alaskan Territory. The Russians were the first Europeans to invade Alaska sometime during the 18th century. The Russians enslaved the native people of the Northeset, the Aleuts to brave a battle against the Tlingits of Sitka and the surrounding […]
The Alaskan Marine Highway Ferry – Rest At Last!
/0 Comments/in North America, Travelogue, USA /by allanAboard my ferry ship and sipping a cold Alaskan Amber draft in the lounge about this 400 foot vessel – the Matanuska. My GPS is tracking the journey from the window in my 3 berth cabin on the port side of the ship. My sick bike, Doc, sits on deck #4. After an expensive $400 […]
Stunning Scenery – Bad Bike – Yukon to USA
/0 Comments/in Canada, North America, Travelogue, USA /by allanToday was my longest day riding since I’ve been keeping records. Though after a quick review of my journey this leg wasn’t much longer than the jaunt from Fort St. John, BC to Watson Lake, YT. But I was committed to making this ferry that leaves from Haines at 1:15am (actually Thursday morning). For the […]
