Envy that trip. Another place on the bucket list, Himalayas. Friend of mine went over a few years ago and stated that it was by far the best trip she'd ever done.... and she's done quite a few of them over the years. Be sure and post up some pics and writings of your travels as I'm sure...

Thanks. I tried sharpening somewhat in Lightroom but I took this really late one evening when it was almost dark so I had to really push the ISO setting, thus the noise in the picture. In this case it is what it is.....great subject matter but a not so great photographer. I really love...

to a world I was unfamiliar with! Talked with a ranger in Alaska and they told me that British Colombia doesn't tag their grizzlies but they do in Alaska. Not sure why and the validity of this statement but I didn't notice any tagged in BC. I've watched that cam before and I would love to...

Headed to a campground about 10 miles out of Haines on Chilkoot Lake when I came across a sign saying they had a miners cabin for $10 a night. Did a U-turn here and checked it out. They were getting ready to close down in a week and I'd have the cabin all to myself. Another Hilton room...

Price from Haines to Bellingham was $815 for the bike and myself. That did not include a berth as I slept out on the deck. Gas prices were still kind of high when I was up there so I didn't think this was too bad of a deal. When you figure it would have taken me another three nights to get...

Thanks. Glad you're following along. I wasn't sure I'd like it but glad I did it. Great way to just kick back, relax, do some reading, meet some great people. I'd highly recommend it at least once. Was wondering why the prices would be different dependent upon which way the ferry was...

So after spending two nights in Valdez I get up and decide what to do. Stay another day in Valdez or go. There was a hike I wanted to do and the weather was good but was suppose to turn to rain that night. I decided to mount up and ride back out while the weather was holding. The drive over...

Great road with spectacular scenery on the entire drive. It's about a 40 mile road that goes over the pass area with some side stuff to explore as well. On the east side of the pass is the old Independence Mine. It's run now by the state and it's a great place to walk around and see the...

Headed into Talkeetna and since the weather was perfect decided to camp even though it was still getting a little cold at night. Had dropped quite a bit of altitude so it wasn't as bad. Talkeetna is a cool little town although somewhat touristy. Got a nice little micro brew with good beer and...

Hands down...... Engel. I too hesitated about spending that kind of change on a cooler. Smartest thing I did as it's well worth the money. Get one, you won't regret it.

Paying it forward as I've read a ton of reports on here that I've gotten some great travel ideas from. So I dropped down into Tok Alaska for a late lunch and then started making tracks towards Fairbanks. Pretty uneventful especially after coming off the Top of the World Highway. Plan was to...

Testament to the temps they get up here in early Sept. Taken while exploring some side road on Top of the World Highway. Lots of ice anywhere there was water. The views were worth it though. Started dropping down headed to Tok Alaska and then north to Fairbanks. More Moose alongside...

After two nights in Dawson City I pulled out and headed north again to the Top of the World Highway. Had been dropping below freezing each night so I hung around waiting for the sun. When leaving Dawson you have to take a free ferry ride across the Yukon. Local living on the river. Lady in...

Got into Whitehorse the following day and couldn't believe how much it had changed. I was here 20 years ago. They now have a Wal-Mart and the town seemed to have cleaned up quite a bit. I remember it being kinda run down and full of drunk Indians. Was raining when I got into Whitehorse so I said...

Trust me, it crossed my mind! Kept working my way north up to Whitehorse. Was a cold and rainy day ..... all day. Went through a place called Jade City which consist of a little community with a couple of stores. Attraction is a large jade mine nearby. I stopped for some coffee and...

I've been too close a few times. You always know that you're being watched with these guys. When they are feeding it may appear that they aren't aware of you but I can assure you....they are. When there is a sow with cubs I won't get anywhere near her, feeding or not. I don't think there is...

Headed back towards Hyder to check out the Forest Service viewing station. Had heard from a ranger that the bear spotting had been slim the past week or so since the salmon run was almost over. I had hauled all of my camera gear with me up to the glacier so was hoping I'd spot something...

Just knowing that some are reading this is adding alot. Stayed just outside Prince Rupert the second night and not much to report. Was headed up to Stewart BC/Hyder Alaska in hopes of finding some grizzlies to shoot. Up the following morning and pounded out some more miles. Had an unusual...
