Arctic Ocean 2011

What's the mileage and time table on that?

Gas, we will be gone 21 days. I'm going to Omaha first to my best friend's house, and we will launch from there. We have route planned for 8 days from Omaha to Prudhoe Bay, approximately 3700 miles up, and we are going to take a leisurely, relaxed pace and route back.

Total mileage for me will be around 9000 miles.

So 8 days & 3700 miles each way?

G-Rex · 05-18-2011, 10:08 PM

Not each way. 8 days and 3700 miles from Omaha to Prudhoe Bay, 13 days and about 5000 miles give or take from Prudhoe Bay back to Oklahoma City taking the long way.

It may be, but I haven't been through alot of North Dakota or Saskatchewan at all, so I want to see them. I won't pass judgement until I see it. For example, I thought Maine would suck, and it was one of the better states I've visited.

My KLR can do just about 240 miles on the stock yank, but I have heard of a few people that thought they could do that stretch on the stock tank with no problem, then they ran out of gas. Even with the IMS tank I would say to bring a few "just in case" liters of gas

You are getting the wrong part of ND for the scenic part. The last 1/3 of your ND time will be the only decent mileage. Need to get west of HWY 281 to see anything scenic anywhere. East of there is flat and barron.

BUT, let me know when you are going to be in the Fargo area, love to meet up with you and maybe grab a bite or something.
