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

It is Saturday morning.  It seems to be easer to do the blog in the morning than at night.  I always just want to go to bed in the evening.  Deck work is coming right along.  No pictures because you can not really see the progress we are making and the picture would make it look like we are just sitting on out butts.  Which is not true.  If it looks like we are making progress today I'll put pictures in tomorrow.

I make my last trip to REI yesterday so now it is just a matter of packing everything.  I leave Monday morning.

    Thanks for the comment Mary. Tomorrow things should get more interesting than building a deck. I have enjoyed it but it will be nice to get on the road.
