Alaska – There and Back

Now that I have been home for a number of weeks and had time to process the photos from our trip north it is time to start writing about it. I also needed to give my seat some time to recover from the long hours in the saddle. My travel time away from home was 37 days which in itself was a new experience.  My total miles driven for this excursion was 9300. Add the additional 1466 miles traveled by ferry and the trip total is well over 10,000 miles.
