For those of you who have never seen this... pretty facking awesome:
"Got divorced, lost my job, so me and my buddy got on our motorcycles and rode North to the Alaskan Arctic until the road ran out."
Atigun Pass in the Arctic northernmost region of Alaska. The view at our destination, over 5,000 miles since we departed home. How did we get here?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We departed San Francisco with some seriously loaded bikes.
We camped with friends our first night (and last night in California) on the Ocean
... and quickly made it into Oregon
We took the roads less traveled by the most beautiful scenery. Crater Lake, Oregon...
... is mind-blowing.
Oregon offers far more than just snow capped mountains and pines! Here we climbed Smith Rock.
and then made time for Portland
we spent all our money on gas and gear, and crashed with friends in Portland (pictured) or camping on free land.
we got to haul ass at times through cities as we preferred to stay close to nature and make miles North
Washington State means ferries! You get to go on and get off first as a motorcyclist and hang out with other riders.
Washington state: Olympic National Park. Amazing place.
We met local wildlife and made friends!
As we wanted to chronicle the changes in landscape and nature, we went on hikes. Here's one of the higher places in Washington, Hurricane Ridge, with a big stag chilling in the evening light.
We can see Canada from here! Here we come, Vancouver...
On our way North we occasionally rode with riders that pulled wheelies for hundreds of meters on end. Rock on dude!
Vancouver was kickass. Our first time in Canada proper.
... we made friends, who invited us along on a massive illegal bicycle rave (!)
... and that was the last bit of crazy civilization before we hit the wilderness.
We rode out the morning after the crazy bike rave and were properly on our way North.
