Ready. Set. Go. I thought I had a ride from the hotel to the warehouse, but the hotel had a line of demarcation that was 1.5 miles short. Declining their offer to call a taxi, I walked to the Harley dealer and they gladly gave me a ride.
It was great to finally meet Joni and see my bike. They had put the windshield and mirrors on. More importantly, they had hooked up the battery. That saved me serious time. I assembled the parts of my luggage on the ground. The picture is the final product. I was pointed to the nearest gas station and away I went. I met John at the hotel where he was finalizing his packing. I only had to make some final adjustments to the mirrors at the hotel. We grabbed some quick lunch and away we went.
I would like to say the ride towards Fairbanks was anything than a road surrounded by really tall trees and mountains, but that would be a lie. The scene is quite breath taking, but the same all the way to Denali Park.
