Just here to point out that you can take the Alaska ferry from Bellingham to Prince Rupert, a day's ride from Hyder, then carry on up the Cassiar Highway to the Yukon and Alaska. There are also BC ferry possibilities which don't skip Hyder (or Haines, which is another story entirely).

Our trip around North America has begun, our Super Tenere has arrived in Portland and with some valuable help from another Hubb member(bobcat) it is fitted out and ready for our 11 week ride.

We had some great weather on our ride up to Vancouver and were glad to get out of the cities for awhile.

We rode up the Sea to Sky which gave me a chance to see how the bike handled with all the camping gear and my wife on the curves up into the mountains.

We then started three days of rain and cold riding up into B.C. Temperatures were well under 50f and we rain into some extreme wind and hail along the way.

We are now in Hyder Alaska and had a great ride up the cassias. The weather was great, the roads were smooth with lots of curves, very little traffic, snow covered mountains on either side and lots of wild life.

We will be heading up towards Whitehorse and fairbanks next with a side trip down to Haines.

Looking tot catch up with others on the way.

Greetings and great to hear from you. We are house sitting in Maple Valley just south of Seattle until the 15th August then will make our way up to Canada hoping to do the Nakusp BC H U Meeting before heading across to Montana and down through Glacier N P, Colorado, Utah and Arizona by the 20th September... house sitting again. Traveling a little quicker than usual. The AZ house is our base in the USA so maybe this could be the rendezvous location. Keep in touch.. Cheers and enjoy the ride... K & C

Maybe I should pay better attention to what you are doing! I was in Seattle last week taking Sharon to the Airport - it would have been nice to drop past and say hello.
