Hi, LadyGlide! I just recently moved down here to Oregon after 21 years in Alaska...had to try some different roads other than Highway 1 or 2 after that many years! But I'll be back...I still have my house up in Eagle River...are you north or south of there? It's good riding any direction, so it's all good! I do miss Alaska, but it sure is fun doing all this exploring down here...I havent' been on the same road twice since I've been here! I miss the fishing and hunting there, too...if you haven't tried it, give this recipe a try...they used to call "Poor Man's Lobster"...all you have to do is get some water boiling, throw in some salt and sugar, add some one inch chunks of halibut in there, watch the chunks bob around for awhile, then when they float to the top, they're done! Dip them in some butter, and you'll think you're eating lobster! If any of my buds up there talk to me about a run or get together, I'll let you know!

I've never ridden in Alaska, but you sure do have some pretty country up there.
