    Cool I'm Back!

    I just got back yesterday afternoon from my 7000 mile trip from California to Alaska, around Alaska to Edmonton to Calgary to Missoula to Butte Montana to Kamiah Idaho to Winnemucca Nevada to back home to Jackson and all places in between.

    I apologize if I failed to respond to any questions if they posed to me.

    I also apologize if there has been any assault from SXV'ers towards any of us upstanding RXV people.

    That's where you got off to.... It was gay pride week here in Halifax, I thought you might have been around here someplace. After all, RXV's and rainbows do seem to go, hand in hand.... If you know what I mean.

    good to have you back sounds like a good trip!

    Welcome back Poor!!

    Sounds like a great trip as far as distance.
    I hope the trip was without serious incident, of the unfriendly kind.

    And we do expect a full report, with pictures soon. As we will be bugging you for details....

    Cheers,

    Don't take this personally, but I didn't even notice you were missing.

    Welcome back!!!

    How was your trip??

    I just finished a similar trip too. Unfortunately mine was in a truck with a 7K Lbs. trailer in tow. I toke the Alaska Marine Highway (ferry) from Kodiak AK to Bellingham WA. No passport for my doughtier, so I could not drive through Canada. My doughtier is only 7 week old and I just got the birth certificate 3 days before we started our trip, so we could not get her a passport in time. Thats Ok though, I have done the trip through Canada twice before. Unfortunately my trip was to move, not for pleasure like yours. We (my family and I. 2 kids 19 months and 2 months old, my self and my wife) spent 10 days on the ferry and six 10 to 15 hours a day's driving in the truck to Elizabeth City NC. Needles to say it was a Looooong trip, but at least I got to spend 3 days with my grandfather who is 87 years young and 2 days with my sister and her 3 kids. I have not seen either ofthem in a few years, so that was pretty cool. Now that I'm back in the lower 48 I hope to get back on a race track soon, and possibly get to ride with some ?XV guy's/girls. Hope to make it to Deals Gap soon as it is only a days drive from hear.
    Sorry. I did not mean to thread jack but I have been with out enter-net for over a month now. I'm in my new house but we don't have cable or enter-net yet. It won't be hooked up for another week. I'm bar-owing my neighbors wireless enter-net right now,only they don't Know it.

    So tell us a bought your trip. Did you see any thing cool?? Bears, eagles, moose,elk,friends???

    There are no monkeys in Alaska, and I think that kind of thing is illegal even there!
