Mile 1

I'm not sure TPadden knows how to use a GPS. I told him I'd ride back from NATSTOC witH him and here we are.

Is this New Mexico?

Padden just takes the long way around the road less traveled.

Good restaurant at the Lodge Hotel just down the road a few blocks. And the Museum there is pretty interesting also. And if you see a Smittys Restaurant (area chain) it's pretty good - especially for breakfast!

 

[motomac]

Walmart's not that far either!!!

That is the most loaded I have seen any of Tom's bikes. Is he doing Alaska again?

 

[okckeith]

Have a safe trip you two. More pictures please!

 

[970mike]

Wow where will he take you next?? Have fun!!

 

[ardykay54]

And I thought I got lost all the time!!

Thanks for posting Ray. I got caller ID from Padden earlier this week and haven't returned his call. Been curious where you wild boys were at. I wish I could have joined the two of you. By the time I retire all my current buddies will be on trikes. Hope you both take a gob of pictures.

ps Padden likes to have his back rubbed and ears tickled.

Raymond is up there moving a tag. He'll probably leave there and move the FL tag on his way home.

You guys have a safe trip.

We've made it to Whitehorse in the Yukon without problems. Only rode in 20 minutes max of rain. We stayed at the Peace river Tuesday, Liard hot springs wednesday and Takhin hot springs tonight. Lots of bears along the road.

We were stopped for a bison parade and a bear popped out to graze. We watched the show as he tucked tail and ran when the bison parade topped the hill near him.

I added an old W0QNX Kansas tag to the sign forest at Watson lake.

Tom has been pretty well behaved after that incident at the border crossing.

Not quite Mike but the BC tag should move tonight.

If you stop at Hyder on the way back, be sure to make the run up to Salmon Glacier - you won't regret it!

We rode to Skagway today and acted all touristy. Tom even let me lead coming back for a few miles. Don't get no better then that. We saw only one bear but since he almost took Tom to the woods it's now my favorite. Hanging here at Takhini RTC one more day. Not much of a RTC as it's just me and " him".

 

[Dinkie Diesel]

I would be most happy to stay in Skagway for a few days then return home. Love that place! Did you take the train ride in town?

It looked like the number one thing to do but we just sat around for the day, no train rides. I'll do that when the wife and I return to Skagway.

At the top on the way out/in to Skagway. ;-) BTW, I stopped counting at 39 jewelry stores in Skagway ...
