Getting a rough idea of what goes where:

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:

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

And where my tank bag likes to remove paint:

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

That is a BUNCH of junk!

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. :)

Currently in Healy, AK. Going to be east of Tok tomorrow and hope to hit Liard River hot springs soon after, then home.

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,
