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

Yesterday  I was a very tired when I wrote my post.  That is why I sounded so grumpy.  Today has been a very good day.  First thing this morning I took the GPS watch back.  REI sure is good about that.  Jim Jr. and I packed the truck and we were on our way by noon and in Fairbanks by 6:30.  Saw six more moose on the ride up here.  I decided to bring everything with me.  The bag still won't close.  I'm going to work on that tonight.  We are at the Westmark Hotel in downtown Fairbanks.  This is where I will start from in the morning.  It will be after the complimentary continental breakfast.  More donuts.  Have the bike in the room so I can check it out before I leave.  Check the pictures out.

    Still learning our iPad Jim. Somehow we deleted the post & named ourselves amp amp with auto correct.
    You have inspired us! We are up & moving!

      No problem Jen. I'm still learning my Blog!

      I deleted the Blog post above stating that your previous post was deleted. I have noticed that when posting comments if you use punctuation, like for instance quotation marks, it posts the punctuation as HTML code like quo. Maybe that is what is going on with amp.

      Thanks for following my Blog. See you in the virtual world!
