After we left Denali National Park we drove to the town of Talkeetna and visited the Denali Mountaineering Center. This is where all climbers must go who want to attempt to summit Mt. Denali. We found a few interesting facts: only about half the climbers are able to summit because the weather can be very …

We hope this update finds you doing well! We are currently in Dawson City in the Yukon. We are drying out from a monsoon type rain storm that completely drenched us yesterday. Bad for off-road riding; good for catching up on blogs. Just a heads up, if you had not noticed already, we have very …
Well, there just isn’t enough time to catch you up to our current location. So, even though we are currently in Wasilla, Alaska this update is only going to cover from Whitehorse in the Yukon through our arrival in Alaska and on to the ‘North Pole'(it’s a real town). The good news is it will …
The scenery since we have entered Canada has been absolutely stunning! It seems like every ten minutes some gorgeous new mountain or river reveals itself. And because of the gigantic scale of the mountains we can never seem to take it all in! Only the panoramic pictures express how majestic and vast are the western …

There are worse things than being stuck in beautiful northern California. Especially when you are surrounded by so many friends who are happy to have some extra time with you! So, we are trying to have a positive attitude and not get too stressed out about our delayed departure. I, Chris, have been working on …
Well, surprise, surprise! We aren’t leaving quite yet! If you read our last post you know the packing and preparation process is quite complicated and we also didn’t factor into our timeline saying goodbye to all our friends. We have enjoyed being hosted at many dinners and parties in the last two weeks and feel …
As we start to wade through all our possessions in preparation for our departure we have realized something very profound…our 300 square foot apartment is ill-suited for such space consuming endeavors! The good news is that there are lots of other things to stress out about so we don’t have time to focus on any …
Hi all! Our site still has a long way to go, or at least as long as my limited skills will take it, but thanks for coming for a peek all the same! So the question we get asked the most (well except for, “Are you crazy?”) is when we are leaving. The plan is …
