I have been reading websites to find out what is "out there" that I want or need to know about. But, other than campsites, I think I'll just let the road unfold in front of me. The only part of the trip that I dread is the heat in the Midwest as we leave St. Louis. I am looking forward to the cooler temperatures in the mountains and the challenge that riding in the mountains will bring. I am also looking forward to turning off the phone and not having a computer for a couple of weeks.
Now, for the Alaska trip....we are seriously considering purchasing our first KLR650. I think what makes me nervous is that once we purchase the bike, we are one step closer to really making the trip. Suddenly it becomes less fantasy and more reality.
We have thought about riding the Continental Divide next summer as primer for the Alaska ride. We are thinking if we can ride 2800 miles in the mountains then riding to Alaska will not be a problem. The website that really got me excited about the CDR is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E0NMABAul-w&feature=related.
