Well, the good news is that Mark and David got to Fairbanks, did some sightseeing, bought $1000 worth of tires, and are now headed south. Last night (17th) they were trying to get a plane ride to see Denali but the cloud cover was a problem. Maybe today (Thursday) if the weather breaks they will see the 29,000 ft peak. At any rate they plan to get back on the road around noon today and try to make it as far as Tok, Alaska.
On the home front, more shipping issues so now I have changed shipping companies. The low bidder would not give the assurance that he could do this job without damage to the bike. He did not have the capability to put the bike on a pallet so it would have to be strapped to the deck of a semi. Even the agent did not feel good about that situation so now I am contacting a company that specializes in motorcycle shipping. It's more $$$ but more security. As cheap as I am it's hard not to go with the low bidder.
Here in Virginia it's getting hotter by the day and my garden is exploding. That gives me something take my mind off you know what. Tomorrow Sara and I leave for CT to pick up our grandchildren for an extended stay. Sara was going to have this experience all by herself so she is relieved to have company. Eight hours in the car with two young girls can be a challenge even with the best of children. We will be back on the 23rd.
