Bill was gone when I awoke about 0830, he had sent me an email that his plans A & B didn't work out, and he was going to Plan C, the Yamaha Dealership south of town. We are at somewhat of a disadvantage communication-wise as Bill's eschews some modern conveniences, such as a cell phone. He has an iPad he uses for reading and Netflix, and I am pretty sure he has an iPhone too, but he doesn't have a cell account with anyone. I am not saying he is a Luddite, bu...

I woke up at 0630 and had some water and Tylenol. Tiny little bit of headache from the R&C's and my upper body and arms were very sore from the workout yesterday. I woke up again at 0959 and started loading the bike immediately, finishing about a quarter after. Bill, gawd bless him, was not pounding on my door at 1001. His patience is amazing! We shoot a departure video, dedicating the previous day's ride to our DHE driver Carol. Not because it was uncomfort...

Although we had returned to Fairbanks from our Arctic Ocean adventure quite early in comparison to what the schedule was, that is 2130 instead of 0100, we had still agreed upon a slightly later 1000 departure.

Our mo'tel was right next to Highway 2 that was going to take us out of Fairbanks and start our long journey home. I am...

This entry will contain our entire trip from Fairbanks to Prudhoe Bay, and back again. The elapsed time was exactly 40 hours for the entire journey; from 0500 Saturday morning to 2100 Sunday night, so I am just going to treat it like one long day, which it was. One loooong day! Consequently, this will be one loooong read! No, really! A really long read, like get a sammich and a beer long read! Not on your lunch hour, cuz you'll be late getting back to work! Tha...

Although I was up quite early, I can only imagine when Bill gets up, I was waiting for a possible video shoot in Toronto to firm up or go away. Being 4 hours behind Ontario was frustrating to say the least. I had to delay our 0900 departure time at least an hour, I called Bill with the news and, naturally, he took it in stride. Here is his confutation of yesterday's blog: Hi, Bill here. I just read Lou's blog and concur with everything he said. It's quite enter...
