Anchorage, Fairbanks and the kindness of strangers!
Getting taken in and prepping my new bike!
I’m waiting for James to buy his bike in Anchorage and ride up and we’re planning to take on the Dalton Highway tomorrow!
Becktastic Meets Her Match!
I headed South on the Hwy 1 for a while, it was gorgeous as always.
Unfortunately part of the highway was damaged by erosion and closed off. Luckily I rode it last year and since I was blasting all the way to San Diego, the freeway was probably a better idea anyway.
San Diego was an exciting stop on my trip. I had been talking online to a friend-of-friends for a while and was finally going to get to meet her.
Meet Andrea:
Something Like an Iron Butt
Snapped a quick picture of the odometer in Salida after gassing up.

One of these days I’ll make it East of the Rockies, but the Southwest has a lot to offer so I was happy to return for further exploration. Only having about a month, I packed up my SV650 and blazed up the interstate at the crack of dawn.
His name is Binky. Continue reading

I had wanted to ride dirt down to Dragoon on Thursday, but school obligations kept me late, so I trailered down with Alan instead. I had a quick beer before the bar closed up and called it a night.
Went for a little walk in the morning. I love the crazy rocks out there.
