Hi ya'all,

Been gone for 10 days camping in Alaska with my son & the Boy Scouts. It was awesome! We flew into Anchorage and drove around a bit. I saw someone on a green 05 636 riding double. It was cold outside; in the 40's. We camped in a tent for a couple of nights in the rain. Stayed dry but got some water inside. Then it was off on the Alaskan Railroad to Denali National Park where we tented there a day and took the bust tour. Saw some Grizzly bears, dall sheep, moose, caribou, a falcon & eagles. Saw a ZX10R heading the opposite direction on the way to the Glacier. We camped an hour outside of Fairbanks for 6 days and saw a lot of things. Went gold panning, hiking, and Pike Fishing! Huge fish; Will post pictures later. Anyway, I am in Vancouver, B.C. for a couple of days then back home to Texas on Monday.

 

man that sounds like you guys had a blast up there....get those pics up when you can

 

sounds like a lot of fun. I'll have to go someday.

 

congrats on the safe trip, sounds like a blast. I bet your son loved it, I know when I was knee high to grass hopper I enjoyed getting out in the wild I guess you can call it that. Cant waits for the pics.

 

Yes, my son loved it except for the swarms of HUGE mosquitos and the rain the first couple of days. I also saw a guy on a Busa along with a bunch of other BMW's & Dual purpose bikes on the dirt/ gravel road from Fairbanks to Prudhoe Bay. The bike had a Texas Flag paintjob. Long ways from home. Anyone have a 636 in Anchorage?

 

Alaska bound.... I have never been but would love to go.... Pics would be nice!!

 

hell yeah ! welcome back speed.

 

It's great to be back. Really appreciate the hot showers and flushing toilets and living in a house instead of a 3 person tent. It wasn't too bad though; an experience to remember. It was FUN. I am in Vancouver right now and I will post pictures as soon as I get home.

 

i hear theres great surf in alaska............... i surf hehe

 

I can't say if it's great but can tell you that it's FREEZING COLD. They do ice wind surfing in the winter when the ocean & lakes freeze over. Too cold for me. The weather is nice there now.
