I have been struggling with sleep for a bit now and running on empty at the end of the day. Dawson City was really bad. The boys gave me a single room at the house in Fairbanks and I felt fairly well in the morning. We headed out to the Dalton and had a prettyContinue reading “Day 9 (6/23/24) Morning Decisions (Steve)”

Just a quick update as we are a bit tired and some are fixing issues. We made it to Wiseman at the Boreal Lodge. I made sure to thank Heidi personally for helping me out 14 years ago. I’m sure she doesn’t remember it, but it made a big impact on me. Especially when IContinue reading “Day 8 (6/22/24) Fairbanks to Wiseman (Steve)”

I was really worn down and exhausted last night. While eating dinner I was getting the spins and I just needed to sleep as the night before I didn’t get much sleep and what I got was poor at best. Woke up this morning and I had slept better but not well. The power wentContinue reading “Day 7 (6/21/24) Dawson City to Fairbanks (Steve)”

The PB’s are tuckered out. So here are a few of my photos. Saw a Brown Bear, a Red Fox, a wildfire and were stalked by a group of older sisters on a trip.

Here I am again on the phone typing my days thoughts while everyone else has gone to sleep. I do envy the old men for being able to sleep at the drop of a hat. The day started as planned with a Cliff bar breakfast and Coffee and on the road by 8. Harv promisedContinue reading “Day 5 (6/19/24) Stewart to Watson Lake (Steve)”

Phone again, So bare with my fat fingers. Today I didn’t plan on getting up early. There was no sense getting to Prince George and then sitting here for a while. However, the brain said wake up at 5:30 am. I farted around the room packing and trying to dry the clothes I washed inContinue reading “Day 3 (6/17/2024) Kelowna BC to Prince George BC”

Writing from my phone so there is sure to be fat finger mistakes. Woke up at 6 am with a hopeful 8 am departure. Packing up took longer than expected and apparently you need keys to open locked boxes, so leaving keys in your room slows you down. I finally got packed and headed forContinue reading “Day 2 (6/16/24) : Bend,OR to Kelowna,BC (Steve)”

The day started off pretty routine, everything had been packed up, so all that was needed was to wake up, shower and then wish my daughter a happy birthday. I had wanted to take off at 8:00 a.m. and by some luck, I was actually rolling at 8:00 a.m. The Goal was to try andContinue reading “Day 1 (6/15/2024) – San Jose to Bend, OR (Steve)”

Ready to go, did the final pack/check and gassed up. Only thing left is to hop on and head north. Meet up with the boys on Monday in Prince George. Spot will be active and tracking starting tomorrow. For the first time ever on a trip, I actually weighed all my stuff. Mostly because overContinue reading “Gassed Up, Packed up and Ready”
