The Start of the Adventure

Hi. My name is John. I am planning a motorcycle trip to Prudhoe Bay, Alaska. I do not have a firm date set yet, but it will probably be at least two years. I think it will take that long to plan. So, you have the enjoyment of following my rambling thoughts as I get prepared for the trip.

I plan to take four weeks (maybe most of 5) off work for this trip. I will ride from St. Louis, Missouri to Prudhoe  Bay, Alaska. This trip is approximately 4,300 miles each way. I am thinking about what motorcycle I will need to take on this trip. If I do not take a KLR650, I will rent one in Fairbanks for the Haul Road portion of the trip.

I would like to take a larger bike with a pull-behind camper so I can stay along the Alaska Highway.

I also think I would like to do the ride for a charity. I am considering charities now. So, if you read this and you know a charity who would like to work with me, please contact me. I have some time, but I think it would be great to do this, get sponsors and raise some money and awareness for a need.

Until next time....
