Denali Highway

The day started with a quick 50 on pavement to Paxson before we turned onto the Denali Hiway, 130 miles of the funnest dirt road I've ever ridden a motorcycle on.

We rode all stinkin day with breathtaking scenery and pretty much had the road to ourselves. Moose sightings. No bears.

Awesome pie at this little shack in the middle of nowhere about halfway. Met a couple of hunters that met each other hunting in the backcountry of Minnesota on 9/11. Their pickup plane didn't show up till days afterward and they had no idea why but figured it definitely wasn't good.

You saw moose and did take any photos??? I'm very disappointed.

The photos usually come later because they have to find a drug store to get them developed, right guys? ;-)

We saw a bear in our backyard here in Hamden last week so we're ahead in the bear count (for now).

How's the temperature right now? We are in a bit of a heatwave, might hit 100F.

How much you guys paying for petrol, $3.19- $3.35 for the regular stuff here.

In my excitement to post I made a mistake on the petrol prices here, should read $4.19-$4.35
