On this one, I need to get to Santa Cruz on a certain date and I couldn't leave until after a certain date. I was thinking of trying to get to Hyder/Stewart on this trip but there just wasn't enough time. The good thing is, there's always the next trip.RichardMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04773834892715980735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1512448163402185409.post-91753655396785160042012-06-05T05:06:40.445-08:002012-06-05T05:06:40.445-08:00Oh what a wonderful route!

When driving, many times I just started packing the morning I was going to leave then took off after lunch. This trip seems to need a bit more planning.<br /><br />What I'm thinking of is the mesh jacket with the heated liner and I just picked up a Tourmaster one piece rain suit. And leave my normal riding jacket at home. I'll have to try out the combination when I get home.<br /><br />I hadn't heard anything on the email list so I wasn't sure who was going to show up..RichardMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04773834892715980735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1512448163402185409.post-31726906709302225252012-06-04T18:30:03.461-08:002012-06-04T18:30:03.461-08:00My desk in Fairbanks is a real mess compared to th...My desk in Fairbanks is a real mess compared to this one. But it was still a hassle to move all the accumulated stuff from the other office. I've been in that one since the building first opened about 4 years ago. <br /><br />I've made the trip between Alaska and the lower 48 about 18 times so it is pretty routine. This is the first time on a motorcycle though. All the rest were in cars, trucks, truck w/ cabover camper, pulling travel trailers, Suburban, Toyota mini van, Land Cruiser, etc. Lots of trips...RichardMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04773834892715980735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1512448163402185409.post-34736103044319671492012-06-04T18:24:25.007-08:002012-06-04T18:24:25.007-08:00Thank you, I just sent Bob an email.

Are you excited yet?<br /><br />The one benefit of carrying your camping gear to Santa cruz is that you have the option to camp in lieu of a motel. <br /><br />You might want to think about a three season jacket with the panels that zip off to expose mesh. That would save you from carrying two sets of gear. More expensive of course, but convenient. We are looking forward to seeing you and are hoping Sonja & Roland and BeemerGirl & Oilburner will be joining us as well.Trobairitzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03453398807198746434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1512448163402185409.post-19892319430835130282012-06-04T18:12:45.166-08:002012-06-04T18:12:45.166-08:00I think Bob reserved several rooms in Joseph (but ...I think Bob reserved several rooms in Joseph (but I don't know the name of the hotel - I think it is the one Brad gave you Richard). Maybe talk to Bob and see how many rooms he reserved. We still have an extra King room reserved in Baker City for Friday July 20th.<br /><br />I hope we haven't waited to long and there are still rooms available. If not we may have to tweak our agenda.Trobairitzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03453398807198746434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1512448163402185409.post-7292405209610454232012-06-04T17:46:06.726-08:002012-06-04T17:46:06.726-08:00The trip looks plenty ambitious to me.
