Nice work. Very nice. Lowell Thomas has nothing on you.

Alaska's just all kinds of cool, ain't it?

Thanks Joe!

Alaska? Yes, even more than I had hoped for.

What GPS did you use ? I noticed that it tracked your route, pretty cool stuff.

The gadget that did the tracking is called a Spot Tracker. The Spot Tracker can do a lot of things.

http://www.findmespot.com/en/index.p...rBottomConnect

People can watch your ride in real time, the Spot Tracker updates every 10 minutes. It also has a Help and 911 button and it works everywhere. Uses satellites.
It will also show the time you were at a location which is helpful on an IBA ride.

You can mount it on the bike or wear it on your arm.

Plus it stores your trip info and you can make a map of your ride.

I paid $69 for my Spot Tracker but it also has a $150 yearly fee.

I took a lot of pictures and I kind of missed this one. It's become one of my favorites.
On the Alaska Highway near the Yukon and Alaska border.
