Default Alaska 2019

I am planning a trip from Maryland to Ontario to Manitoba to Saskatchewan to Alberta to British Columbia to Yukon Territories to Tok Alaska.

From Tok AK to Anchorage to Seward to Denali Nat'l Park to Fairbanks to Arctic Circle to Valdez and back to Tok AK.

From Tok back to Yukon Territories to British Columbia down to to Washington State.

From Washington to Yellowstone to Mt Rushmore to Chief Crazy Horse to Sturgis to Chief Joseph Highway via Beartooth Pass to Spam Museum to HD Museum in Milwaukee to home..

This will complete my quest to ride in all 50 states.

30 days, 11,288 miles.

Civil War battlefields in the east - spectacular mountain rides in the west. Will try to avoid every interstate and chain restaurant I can.

Planning on six weeks but may take longer. Biggest worry - idiots on their cell phones and "I didn't see him officer" on the accident report.
Sounds incredible---Ive hit 3 of the 4[missing Blaine Wa] My wife retires in 2021 and that is the same thing we will do --starting from NH to Madawaska/Key West/ San Yisdro/ Blaine-------We will probably take 2 months minimum---I still have 8 years till retirement ,so will have to ask for extended leave

Dan28, ya gotta put western VA, WV, northwestern PA, and central NY on your list. You can have eastern VA, NJ, and metro NY, IMO! I live in north central PA, and never get tired of riding up here, but I think WV may be my favorite riding.

Well we are doing a 9 day ride to Florida over Christmas to New Years this December. Into next year we hope to break out of the 16 states we always seem to be stuck in. We are talking about New England, looking at Milwaukee and also considering Texas, Oklahoma and Missouri. I hope to add at least three new states next year. Nothing in stone yet but what ever we do will be a summer ride.

It's worth going to Milwaukee for the Harley Museum. Give yourself an entire day if possible. There's a lot to see and read.

I plan on taking 5 to 6 weeks with my 18 Anniversary Ultra Limited and ride. I will be turning 60 on February 2nd 2019, and this was why I bought the 18 as my other 13 bikes may not have been up to the challenge. Ten of those bikes are from Dad's collection and three are my older bikes.
I've got relatives in AZ, TX, CA, and WI so I hope to visit folks along the way.
Any tips/advice is always welcome.

Thanks for sharing. That is a really cool story about your dad and his years of riding. Enjoy your trip it sounds AWESOME!
