WHAT AM I DOING?


I must say that this is an adventure. I came to Alaska to ride my bike and I am building a deck. The new adventure begins on June 3. I will ride to Girdwood, Alaska,which is about 36 miles from Anchorage. On June 4 I will ride to Whittier, Alaska, which is about 24 miles from Girdwood. At Whittier I have to wait for Jim Jr. to drive me through the tunnel. There is only one road into Whittier and it goes through a tunnel. No bikes, no walking through the tunnel. In Whittier I will catch the ferry to Bellingham, Washington. I will spend five nights on the ferry between Whittier and Bellingham. From Bellingham I plan to ride my bike to Saint Paul, Minnesota. I will take a route mapped out by Adventure Cycling Association and I will use their maps. On my travels I will update this blog whenever possible. Feel free to follow along and post a comment or email me at silverfox.jim@aol.com

Today I hooked up the “BOB” trailer to the bike and rode around the neighborhood . The “BOB” follows just great. Went shopping again today and I am getting to much stuff. I have to stop the shopping. Worked on my GPS watch today. Now I know what the time is and what day it is but I still don't know where I am. I'll work on it again tomorrow. Did a dry run putting up my tent today. It has been a while and I had to figure out the order it goes up in. The tent is a REI Half Dome 2. It is a two person tent so I can get my junk in it in bad weather. See the pictures. Did my day two of packing today. I still don't have it the way I think it should be. Maybe I'll have to leave something behind.
