August 23rd - 28th Gracie & Walter's Big Ride Well hello there, it's us - Gracie (that's me, Sherry's trusty set of wheels) and Walter (bob's slightly overconfident ride). We've finally gotten our turn at the travel blog, and let me tell you, it's been quite a week. Now, we aren't complaining we have been getting a lot of dirt on our tires this whole trip but this past 7 days has been quite a week! Seven straight days of pedaling!! Nothing feels better than a little dirt on the tires and a couple weeds in the spokes.  We rolled off the ferry in Bellingham and hit the ground spinning. Bike lanes, single track, ocean breezes, breweries, live music in the park, pizza, beaches - if it was within pedaling distance, we were there. Bellingham knows how to treat a bike right. Then to was out to a farm stay - chickens clucking, cows mooing, us parked in a big field like royalty. But not before another spin around Bellingham, just to make sure we didn't m...

 August 19th - 22nd Bob's First Blog Post Well, it only took 3 months on the road, but here I am - finally writing my first post for the blog.  I'll admit, there was a lot of pressure after the incredible job Sherry has been doing with all of her posts - and even Boone managed to set the bar high with his one entry.  Tough acts to follow! But since this part of the trip was such a unique experience, I thought it was about time I added my voice to the mix.  Oh, and also Sherry insisted I do at least one post! We've just wrapped up the Inside Passage ferry trip, traveling from Haines all the way down to Bellingham, Washington. It was three days and three nights on the water, with stops in Juneau, Sitka, and Ketchikan along the way. Juneau There are three ways to get to Juneau: by boat, by plane...or the birth canal. and just like that, I was officially banned from local tour guides.  Once in town, we headed out to the Mendenhall Glacier, which was absolutely worth...

Augus 9th - 16th From Rain showers to Bears: Our Journey South Begins                                          Chilkoot Pass The road has carried us through a string of places that each felt like their own little world - Haines Juntion, Whitehorse, Carcross, Skagway, and now Haines. Haines Junction was small and unassuming, the kind of place where you find beauty in its simplicity. We camped among tall trees, rode our bikes into town, and rewarded ourselves with lunch and a couple of cold beers at the local brewery. Yep, another Brewery. The skies turned gray on the ride home, but instead of dampening our spirits, the rain seemed to soak us into the landscape. Warm, steady, for miles back to camp with Boone a little less enthusiastic about the rain! From there, the familiar comfort of Whitehorse greeted us. Back at the Caribou RV Park, we sank into the little luxuries of the road - h...
