My thanks to the many creators of blogs and web pages about Alaska for sharing their experiences. They were all very enlightening and I appreciate the information that I have garnered.

Some, but not all: Rod Jones, Perth ON
Larry (LL) Parmenter, Bandon OR; Art & Nita Fockler, Canton OH & Naples FL; Peter Marsh AK; Jim Marshall, Newcastle ON Simon at Peterborough Cycle Salvage, Peterborough ON

7,728 km (4,830 miles) not including laundry runs, sight seeing, going down side roads for a pee spot, getting lost (which we do without trying), going out for breakfast or dinner, beer store, liquore store, etc.
