Getting a rough idea of what goes where:

Image

Don't mind my power outlet hanging out, just making sure my Eee PC charges with it (check! :) ).
Image

2.5 gallons of fuel for those long stretches without gas:
Image

I finally applied my 3M protective film for my tank:
Image

And where my tank bag likes to remove paint:
Image

Next is to pack everything into the available cases. Wheels in motion in five days! :shock:

That is a BUNCH of junk!

... but it fits!

I am ready to roll. I could leave tomorrow morning if I didn't have things at work to wrap up.

My schedule in Alaska coincides quite well with my grandparents being up there. I may meet up with them somewhere along the Al-Can on the return leg of my journey. It puts a grin on my face because it seems a bit strange. :)

Congrats on making it up to the Arctic Circle buddy!

If you happen to see a cute, pale, black and/or multi-colored hair girl up there (18 years old) tell her hi from me!
She was down here at MMI and went back up a few months ago to Healy!

I'm back home! I'll get some posts written up about some of the more interesting days in a bit. For now I'll leave you with a picture of Denali:

And the Alpha and Omega of bear boxes they gave me at Liard River Hot Springs:

Glad to hear that you didn't end up a Grizzly's breakfast. Looking forward to reading the story.

Cheers,

Bruce
