Full MemberPosts: 139 [UPDATED] Leaving for Alaska and the Arctic Ocean... on an S2R « on: August 06, 2012, 11:35:27 PM »



I've finally started uploading pictures! Part one of the write-up of my trip from Los Angeles to the Arctic Ocean is up here at my blog:



I'll be adding sections over the next few weeks (wish I could do it faster, but what with a new job starting it's hectic). I've divided the story into seven sections, so remember that the pictures you see here are only a fraction of what's to come.



And of course, thank you all for your support and encouragement . Without it, I don't think it would have been anything close to the amazing, life-changing adventure that it was.





But first, some of my favorite bike pictures from what I've currently uploaded (for the rest, click the link above):





The first day, heading through the golden fields of Central California.







On the way to Valdez, AK







On the Dalton Highway heading south, looking towards the Brooks Range, about 130 miles north of the Arctic Circle







North of Valdez







Portage Glacier, Kenai Peninsula







Rain over the tundra at Atigun Pass.







North of Valdez







Look what the Dalton Highway did...







Kennecott Mines in Wrangell-St.Elias National Park

[***Below here is my original post***]



In three days I will be leaving LA for Alaska on a six-week trip. My ultimate destination is Deadhorse, right outside Prudhoe Bay on the shores of the Arctic Ocean.



I will be posting updates whenever I can here, and in more depth on my blog. Feel free to give me any suggestions or just any comments



Meanwhile, I have three days to finish the final preparations + move out of my place + put all my earthly possessions in storage. Fun! ..... not...





My planned route.







I've traveled pretty extensively through the Southwest on a number of trips over the past year. This will be the longest trip by far though. But here are some of my favorite pictures from the past year (click on the text to link to the picture):



Bonneville



Canyonlands, Utah



Capitol Reef, Utah



Sunrise over the mountains overlooking Bonneville



Near San Felipe, Baja California
