What's the Plan?

This is to be our third moto trip together. In 2014 Ken and I rode around the northern hemisphere in RTW East to West (rtweastwest@blogspot.com) and from Virginia, USA to Ushuaia, Argentina in RTW North to South (rtwnorthsouth@blogspot.com). 

This third trip we will attempt to reach the top of the world - 250 miles north of the Arctic Circle in Prudhoe Bay, aka Deadhorse, AK and do the polar plunge in the Arctic Ocean. The plan is to meet in the Seattle area in about 10 days and head north into Canada making our way through British Columbia and Yukon to the Alaskan border. We will make up our route and stops as we go with no real plan. I've made this trip twice before, in the summers of 2018 and 2019 so have some idea of the various choices in routes to the top. The choices narrow down the further north as roads become scarce. The final stretch is only one route, the famous haul road, The Dalton Highway. 

Ken is leaving from Virginia in a couple of days and I will be leaving on Friday from Colorado. Onward!

I’m here in Green River, WY having a beer and reflecting on this trip while I look out to the sun setting to the west over the flat top butt...
