Re: Alaska trip in pictures part 1

Thanks Mac! Great pics!!

My wife and I spent two weeks up there last year. We flew though and cruised/toured. We took a private helicopter to an awesome location on Mendenhall Glacier and gave our vows to be wed. Great time.

Did you ride the Denali Highway on your Goldwing in the past?

I did ride a '98 Gold Wing pulling a Bunkhouse up the Dempster in '99, but I didn't do the Denali. Of all the gravel roads I did this year, the Denali was by far the roughest. I don't mean harder to ride I mean bumpy and washboarded.

We did the Denali from a coach bus. Stopped at some of the road houses for food and Crazy dog kennels (I think was the name)... Ughhh! I want to go back (but on two wheels this time!)
