Guatemala to Alaska and Back

Thx, we sure would like to get to see Juneau with a local guide. Do you think the 8 hours that the ferry stays there are enough or should we plan a longer stay?

What a good looking boat captain you had! Looks like you had a good time in Soldotna. We continue to enjoy your RR. Hope to see you down the road someday. Jonnie and Carl

Do you know what day and the hours you will be here? That will help me answer that...

Yes, we had a great time down there in Soldotna with your brother and his family!
Good luck with your bikes in California !!!

I don't know yet, maybe in 5-6 days
We probably take the ferry from Whittier to Valdez, ride up to Tok and then on to Haines. Maybe some side tours along the way depending on the weather

An other great day in Alaska , blue sky all day long and incredible scenery around the Witthier area .
I'm falling every day more for this great state

I lived on the Kenai peninsula for awhile, fantastic area! Awesome RR

if you are changing ferrys and have 6-8 hours you would certainly have time to do a quick tour of Juneau. You would be able to ride the entire road system...be sure and go "out the road" for some truly spectacular views...go see the Mendenhall Glacier...drive out to north Douglas Island for more big views back toward the Glacier and a side trip up to Eaglecrest. Downtown can be fun if the cruise ships aren't overwhelming it...great museums, history and good food and beer.
PM me if you would like a phone number and if I am not busy when you get here I would be happy to ride with or take you around in the car.

It really is , glad you like the RR

Thx for all the information, I will PM you as soon as I know when I will be down there .

Yesterday morning I went for a short ride before breakfast, checking out the Girdwood area , picking some nice gravel roads going up the mountains. Pretty impressive

Dear Julio and Luisa:

I have heard so much about Alaska but never imagined it to be so incredible. WOW... eat lots of fish.
Things here have been fine, besides an assassination in front of the office a couple of weeks back all pretty normal Weather has been great, I think its an early canicula, but looks like its finally coming to an end. Enjoy yourselves and keep on truckin

Incredible is the perfect word to describe Alaska ! And you bet I'm eating fish , fresh salmon every day

The day before yesterday we went for a ride to Portage Glacier and Whittier ; the weather was perfect and so was the ride . We stopped on the way down there along the river , at the foot of the glacier, we took tons of pictures , we went through the tunnel, we had a nice lunch in Whittier, we walked around the docks , we watched the fishermen , boats coming in and out… what a day! Or just an other day in Alaska
































What a blessing to get to enjoy all this ! LIFE IS GOOD !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

George just dropped by and we caught him up on some of the new photos you've posted in Alaska. -Fresh crisp air!

Glad the trip is still going strong! Safe Journeys!

Hola Ed, good to hear from you . Tell George we are still dreaming about his smoothies

For the last 3 days we stayed here in Girdwood at Vince ,aka Crashmaster, and his friends place .
I met Vince when he was on his epic Latin America ride coming through Guatemala .
So far we had a great time here , a lot of good cooking from everybody








Great eating as well






And lots of fun

It has been great hosting Julio and Luisa. They went off to hike the Russian River Falls today, armed of course.

Between Julio's cooking and my room mates' cooking I wont be able to get on a bike again.

Heavily armed indeed

The hike to the Russian River Falls was pretty nice, great scenery and trail but no bears ; they are probably waiting for the upcoming Silver Salmon run

Looks like you may still be on the Kenai Peninsula. If you need any help on your way down to Homer. Don't hesitate to look me up. Enjoy the rest of your trip and keep the pics coming. I love seeing pics of others who have enjoyed this great land.
