The Ballpark Itinerary

Hi Everyone!

It's time for another motorcycle adventure!

For those of you who followed us across Canada in 2013, welcome back! We hope you enjoyed our first blog: www.canadianroadtripartproject.blogspot.com.  I'm happy to report that the art exhibition I did that came out of that trip went well! To see some of my paintings, please visit my Facebook page: Kathy Lauriente-Bonner Art at https://www.facebook.com/pages/Kathy-Lauriente-Bonner-Art/364386487009841 or visit my website at www.klbart.com

THIS year, we're excited to be going for a 5-6 week trip through Northern BC and into Yukon and Alaska. We will be heading out from Riske Creek, BC on June 4, 2015 and should be back home around July 10, 2015. 

We don't like to set our itineraries in stone - rather, we prefer to have a general idea of where we want to go and then wing it a bit, leaving lots of room for spontaneity and taking the adventure as it comes. That said, our general route will be as follows:

Leaving Riske Creek, BC and heading to:

• Fort Nelson, BC to see friends (via Hwy 97)
• Alaska Highway to Liard Hotsprings
• Whitehorse
• Carmacks
• Dawson City
• Top of the World Highway through Chicken and into Tok, Alaska
• Fairbanks
• Denali National Park
• Anchorage
• Homer
• At Homer, we're ditching our bikes and little Lees-ure Lite tent trailer and will head out on the Alaskan Ferries trip for 7 days down the Aleutian Island chain all the way to Dutch Harbour and back.
• Side trip into Seward
• Side trip into Valdez
• Haines Junction down to Haines and catch the ferry to Skagway and come back up to Carcross and then dodge down south again into Atlin. 
• Back up to Alaskan Highway and then down Highway 37 through Deas Lake to Highway 16 and then east to Prince George and south again on Highway 97 to Williams Lake and home. 

I will be riding my new 50th birthday present - a sweet 2014 Harley Davidson Ultraglide Limited. My husband Lynn still has his awesome 2011 Harley Tri-Glide Trike. We will camp most of this trip again in our little Lees-ure Lite tent trailer that we used on our cross-Canada trip. It's an amazing little outfit - we highly recommend them!

Stay tuned! This blog will really get rolling on JUNE 4, 2015!

Me and my birthday present - turning 50 isn't so bad!
