Target, best buy, starbucks, and all the rest. Not worth any time in my opinion when there are places like Homer, Seward, Valdez, Palmer, Fairbanks, etc to see instead. <br /><br />Mountains make and keep snow. You will see some too when you are up here.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06606446271603142230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1204440107409695969.post-7152947688953592112012-05-19T00:05:12.809-05:002012-05-19T00:05:12.809-05:00Thanks Dom!Thanks Dom!Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06606446271603142230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1204440107409695969.post-73410364675917324972012-05-19T00:01:49.678-05:002012-05-19T00:01:49.678-05:00Sounds like you need to spend some serious quality...Sounds like you need to spend some serious quality time on the gravel to get over your fears. It isn't that bad. You even have a dualsport! <br /><br />Those warnings you describe are the same as in Yukon, Alberta, and Alaska. I've probably seen over a thousand of them by now. Not all require slowing or even changing lane positions. I'm getting quite comfortable with the road conditions in this part of the world.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06606446271603142230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1204440107409695969.post-23663093146596131282012-05-18T23:56:45.210-05:002012-05-18T23:56:45.210-05:00I'm hoping for more great scenery, and I suspe...I'm hoping for more great scenery, and I suspect I won't be disappointed. It will be hard to top Alaska which beats out even ice fields parkway for me. <br /><br />She does.

We have too much noise in the city, also lots of those Thumper Cars too, they hurt your ears.<br /><br />again, lots of nice photos of mountains and pristine landscapes. I'm not sure I like to ride on gravel. <br /><br />Those Pavement Ends signs are similar to the ones in BC, except ours are Black and White, black using on the bottom signifying pavement --> going to white (Gravel). <br /><br />In BC there are lots of frost heaves, or Bumps. Many of these do NOT have warning signs, BUT they are indicated by Markers on the right side of the road, usually a short post with a Red Ribbon tied to the top. There is not much warning, as soon as you see one you should slow down fast. Once you hit a couple you will understand. We mainly saw these south of Prince George<br /><br />bob<br /><a href="http://www.wetcoastscootin.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Riding the Wet Coast</a><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/14805736@N04/" rel="nofollow">My Flickr</a> // <a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/bobskoot" rel="nofollow">My YouTube</a>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05258612401956399482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1204440107409695969.post-52324676030052635862012-05-17T10:41:45.520-05:002012-05-17T10:41:45.520-05:00More great pictures.
