Alaska: Day 1 (5 June 09)

Danny and I got off to an early start at 7 a.m. Bahwife even got up to see us off and took a few pics. Here are our intrepid adventurers heading down my driveway:

I'm not sure what Danny's trying to say about our trip with this riding buddy on the front of his Strom ... kinda ominous, though, eh?



As we were leaving my neighborhood, James Pratt came riding up on his GS Adventure. He'd ridden out to give us a send-off. Thanks, James!

We did 597 miles, arriving at Danny's sister's log home in Peyton, Colorado. Dana and her husband Brooks put us up in great style with individual guest rooms and a delicious steak dinner and plenty of good companionship. Thanks, Dana and Brooks!

Their home is gorgeous. I absolutely love these log homes and will probably have to build my own someday.
