Designed to record the travels of myself (Dave Demers), Dave McCune and Fred Suckow as we ride our motorcycles from Vancouver, Washington to Prudhoe Bay, Alaska and back. I estimate the trip will take 17 days of riding and we have allowed 21 days for the trip. We will be riding a BMW R 1200GSA, R 1200GS and a KLR. I meant to add that Big Dave estimates the trip to be about 6,000 miles round trip.

day 8 releasing Billy
Releasing Billy
Wild Bill and I started talking about Alaska several years ago. Billy had always lighted up whenever he talked about his days fishing for ocean Salmon in Alaska and he had planned to ride to Alaska about a year before his final outbreak of the big C. Things didn't work out because his riding partner had something come up and I didn't have the time off or money to go.
Well when I decided to make this trip Carson asked me if I would like some of my brother Billy. I didn't hesitate to say yes. Carson showed up with ashes and I kind of shuffled him around to keep some on my Road Glide and put some in a container to take on this trip. I throw Billy to the wind up in Prudhoe Bay
