If I understand it correctly, about 2/3's of the population lives here. Population is 27,000

I stopped at a roadside restroom in B.C. Look at this picnic table!

...and you should be proud.

An awful lot of folks talk about leaving Texas for AK and back on the scooters, yet only a small percentage actually get to pull it off. For those that have done it, we all share the same feelings. For those that haven't done it, you're really missing out on a magnificent chapter in your life.

Keep 'em coming. :clap:

Yep, keep 'em coming. I'm patiently waiting my turn. I may have to retire first to have the opportunity.
 
Quote Lano "This was the longest I had ever been away from my wife. I missed her greatly. This was the homesickness I talked about."

I know the feeling. I went on a ride in '92 and told my wife I was going to be gone, "until I get tired of riding." Apparently, it only takes me 31 days to get tired of riding because I was home snuggling with her on the 31st night.:trust:
 
Just a few more pictures to share. It's about time to wrap this up.

It's hard to stop riding when you just have to see what's ahead

Southern B.C. is full of beautiful parks. If a person did not have the time to go all the way to Alaska, you will see so much beautiful country here

Shy creatures. Of course they were out in the open till I stopped the bike

It's the middle of June, look how much snow is still on the mountains. It was colder in the shade.

You don't see this in the Panhandle

I just could not get over the color of the water in these lakes

Running alongside Glacier Park in Montana. Going to the Sun road was closed

That's about it folks. Thank you for letting me share my trip with you. I had fun putting together my first trip report. As was pointed out to me, I do apologize for my grammer and spelling.
