Pics from Prudhoe Bay, Alaska trip

The pipeline. My bike was a little dirty, and the road wasn't even bad yet.

The Spot Tracker got it's fair share too.

You give these guys the right-of-way, or you'll die. That's pretty much all there is to it.

We are still northbound. Behind me, you can see the Brooks Range and Atigun Pass. On the way through here the next day, 24 hours after this photo was taken, it was blizzard conditions.

Fuck. Yes! We made it!

Photo op on the way back south to Fairbanks.

It was high 30s. I was wearing 4 of everything and felt like the Sta-Puft marshmallow man.

Leaving Fairbanks on the way to Anchorage, my rear tire blew out. Good thing I planned for that one. Sorta. LOL

There weren't a TON of pictures after this, as we started heading back to the US, and the temps were high 30s, low 40s, rain, and cloudy, and just miserable conditions.

Hope y'all enjoy a small taste of the trip.

What was it that caused you to feel like you initially regretted the trip? Do you think you didn't take enough time? Did you feel like you didn't experience enough while up there? Or was it something completely different?
