I know it's real early to be talking about a 2008 ride but this is a
big one and would require advance planning for anyone wanting to take
it in.

http://www.actualriders.ca/alaska_2008.htm

The more I look at this, the more I like it. I am thinking of mid July
as a launch time.

Calgary, Creston, New Denver, Prince George, Prince Rupert, Haines via
the Alaska Marine Highway, Anchorage, Fairbanks and then home.

This would be at least a three week ride, maybe a touch more, and a
lot of miles, through what has to be the best scenery one can find on
two wheels and a boat.

I'm gonna try to make it happen. As always anyone wanting to take it
in is welcome to join me.

This is a big ride Robert, but it is looking like it is going to
happen.

I'll buy you one of your favorite beverages when we roll in.

It's a ride and a half, no doubt. From your and RGD's pics, I'm afraid
the scenery won't be much different than home either.

Well I guess since you live there you can't appreciate the challenge
and adventure of riding the Alaska highway. There is a certain, almost
sensual attraction for us flatlanders to make the journey. Factor in
that ferry ride through the inside passage and it almost becomes lust.

Yeah I think I am gonna make this ride.

I've never done the inside passage, but I hear it pretty nice. Plan early
for that, as I hear it gets booked for summer pretty quick.
