Ok. This will likely be the last post of the trip. I’m out in Connecticut to see JT and Beth get married, have been staying with my cousins Gloria and Bob, and will be seeing my Aunt Lois and Uncle Monroe before I head back. Then… it’s back to work and the house and piecing [...]

HOME!
I made it home, after 3200 miles of solid driving. Crazy, but I have a plane to catch in 2 hours to the wedding. The quick parts of it: Backcountry Denali shattered me, I picked up Lisa in Valdez on the way back and drove her to the lower part of Alaska, and then [...]

ALASKA
Yes, that’s right. I’ve made it to Alaska. And for those who are wondering, Deepani did too. We spent four days in the backcountry of Jasper National Park (Northwest of Cananda), near Bannf. Many of the views were extremely dramatic, although the 50 km stretch that we ended up hiking weren’t that intense. Instead, our [...]

We rolled into Calgary last night, after spending 3 days on the trails of Glacier National Park, MT. On the way up (driving straight through) we passed Sturgis, SD which has its annual monster motorcycle gathering this week. Ever since we hit Kansas, we saw bikers from all around making the pilgrimage to Sturgis. By [...]
