Default Alaskapade Video is Up

It's slow while it buffers to your PC, but it's up for viewing. I'll post a .mov version later tonight. The video is rendered at a resolution that will allow it to fit on a Vimeo Plus account, If the performance from the server on which it sits now is too poor, I'll spring the $60 for the Vimeo account.

You can find it at Alaskapade.com.

Scott,

Awesome trip and fantastic video documentary. I can totally relate to your experience as I took one my dream trips this past summer, two weeks ahead of your journey. 2 friends and myself did the trip from Atlanta Georgia to Sturgis and Yellowstone. This trip was also on the "Bucket List" for one of my friends that I went with. We had a fantastic time, oddly enough, he was just diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease and knows his days of riding are now numbered.
My next trip (hopefully within two years)is to take a similar trip to yours, from Georgia to Alaska. I was originally targeting Denali as the turn around point, but after watching your video I may actually revise my goal.

Awesome experience, thanks for sharing!!!

Excellent video and writeup. Ive found that on a solo ride there is plenty of time for reflections on life(somtimes too much), but after you finish one you are relaxed and at ease for quite some time. Funny thing is as you were leaving the black hills
I was just getting there, without my bike for the first time and last time, but in my truck with the wife and Grandson.
