akkat Posted May 5, 2005 Share Posted May 5, 2005 Hello everyone... Been having a real hard time getting online during this trip...but wanted to let ya'll know that I am havng an awesome trip. Am in Salt Lake City tonight, getting bike serviced, near rear tire and detailed in AM. Rode without a windshield for 20 years, never realized how many bugs I wore...LOL Stayed last nite at Grand Canyon, my favorite place in the USA. Anyone that hasn't been there needs to put that one on your list. Heading to Great Falls in AM, depending on weather, departure time and road conditions whether I go thru the Tetons and Yellowstone. Then to Calgary, going to hook up with some IIRA guys there for a drink, then on to the BIG highway...Will try and keep ya'll posted, maybe, just maybe this wireless thing will work 2 days in a row :Spanish: want to thank everyone who has contacted me with offers of everything. When I am in Florida, ya'll are welcome there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mplate Posted May 5, 2005 Share Posted May 5, 2005 Kat, It's currently snowing in Yellowstone. Forecast for tomorrow is snow until 11AM when it warms up enough to turn into rain. Hope the trip's going well. Say hi to the Calgary guys for me. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brock Posted May 10, 2005 Share Posted May 10, 2005 Got email today and Kat is in Alberta....says having great time but may have to fly into Alaska as she was told all the gas stations are closed along the ALCAN... I hope she does not have to end her ride because of fuel prices or shortages...but hell that is Alaska...they are on oil reserve...hahahahahaha.

mplate Posted May 10, 2005 Share Posted May 10, 2005 Damn, that's a shame. Let me know if she wants the phone numbers of some of the gas stops along the way to make sure as I can look them up in the Milepost for her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brock Posted May 11, 2005 Share Posted May 11, 2005 Got another update...snowed there yesterday so waiting til later today to see if it melts off. Apparently found that some gas stations were going to be available so she bought a gas can to strap to her bike as back up too.... Planning on heading out later today...guy that is riding from Alberta wants to buy an electric vest before straddling his bike for the ride....PUSSY!!!!! LOL Oh well....she is living large and safe and sound.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brock Posted May 19, 2005 Share Posted May 19, 2005 6500 miles later Kat has arrived safely at her destination. Not setup with her own computer yet but made the trip with no big problems...said it was experience of lifetime and she was apparently first biker on ALCAN for 2005. She says she will post when things settle down and she rests... :Spanish: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
