The Long Ride

The Blog is shifting gears. Up to this point I've been talking education, now it's motorcycle time! Tomorrow Tomto and I are heading off to Alaska on the Beemers. Alaska will be our 49th state, we've bagged all the lower 48 since we started the quest in 2002, the last two (MD &DE) and Washington, DC Tomto picked up this spring. We're headed to Clare, MI tomorrow, from there we will cross into Ontario on Friday. Our route takes us across the top of Lake Superior to Winnipeg, then to Saskatoon, to Edmonton and then we pick up the Alaska Highway in Dawson Creek. The only firm date we have to make is August 11 in Haines, AK where we will take the Alaska Marine Highway ferry south to Bellingham, WA. We'll split up for a few days and join back up in Nevada to ride the "Lonliest Road" US 50 back to Ohio. The whole trip should take about a month.

I will attempt to add to this blog via my little XO (the One Laptop Per Child computer). Failing that I'll email Loretta and ask her to forward to as many of you as she can.

Got to finish the maps. Stay tuned.
