THE PLAN:

The goal is to have an adventure of a lifetime, which involves seeing some of the most incredible scenery on Earth.  It's 5 weeks and counting until the July 2nd launch for the great motorcycle trip to Alaska and Back!  3 good friends, 3 Harley's and alot of pavement................

Here's the plan:

Leave Illinois on July 2nd, travelling North through Wisconsin and then west thru Minnesota.  Our first main destination will be Glacier National Park in northern Montana.  We will then bisect the park taking the infamous Road To The Sun parkway which is suppose to be incredible.  After that we head north and punch into Canada.  From there to Calgary, Banff, the Iceland Parkway, winding through the Canadian Rockies , through British Columbia, the Yukon and into Alaska.  Here we will meet our families in Anchorage for a brief visit.  Then it's off on the hogs again through Alaska and home via Vancover and the Northwest.  We will travel back stopping in Yellowstone, Rushmore, Black Hills and Sturgess.  The trip will last approx. 6 weeks, consist of around 9,000 miles and should be a real test of both character and friendship!  We'll keep you posted.....

Feel free to comment and ask questions!
