Will and SaraRuth from Arizona at the KOA in Missoula, Montana.
Half-moons on Christina Lake.
Crazed marshmallow roaster in Basalt, Colorado.
Kevin's first ride on a borrowed Honda Hurricane. After a bite at Blue Dog in Invermere.
Yukon John with his mountain of poker chips. Look out for him at the tables at Gertie's! He's famous for getting his flush on the river.
Nate, solo Kawasaki Vulcan rider, Ed, in his sixties riding a big BMW, Bill, 52, on a Harley, Andy, 74, retired airline pilot riding a Goldwing, and Ralph, 74, retired accountant on a Goldwing. These four from Sacramento, CA, did a month-long Alaskan adventure together, much to the dismay of most of their friends, who told them they were too old!
Nate with his raggamuffin 1994 Kawasaki Vulcan. I saw his bike in the front of the ferry line-up at Skagway before I met him and thought to myself, "Whoever's riding this one is gonna be cool." He is. Very. Expert rope knotter, solo adventurer, world traveller, mountain guide, future orthopedic surgeon, bread baker, gem of a human. He grew up vegetarian, practises yoga, and he holds his own at poker. He followed me to Skagit Harley Davidson in Burlington when we got off the ferry, just to make sure my battery would get me there.
Jim Deuitshman hooked me up with a battery in Boulder Creek.
My rescue squad, Richard, Mark and John. They rescued me when I broke down on the Alaska Highway. The next day, they broke down! We spent two days together getting down to Prince George where I could have Henk repaired. Three of the nicest guys you'll ever meet.
