Caught up with my friend Carl, we met while both of us were motorcycling at the “Snake”, Rt 421 in North Carolina a month ago. Great dinner and conversation with him tonight at Anchorage Alehouse. Carl rode his BMW motorcycle all the way from Vermont to Alaska…ironman quality! Think next go around for both of us…we are adventuring together!

Carl is more of a road rider and when he showed up with a dirty bike it surprised me. He said he hit some gravel roads around Valdez, Alaska. We are planning to do the Transamerica trail in 2017.
He recently saw the movie “A Story Worth Living” and has never rode dirt before, after the movie he now wants to hit the dirt! The Transamerica trail goes from Asheville, North Carolina to the Pacific Ocean, all dirt, no pavement. Carl is talking about buying a Gs 800….maybe I will too?
