Problems

Hi everybody--
1.  Here's the latest map:

2.  I'm in Pendleton, Oregon tonight.  This is the northeast corner of Oregon.  Way out in the wilderness.

3.  In case you didn't hear the news, I lost my laptop about 10 days ago in Seward, Alaska.  Don't ask how that happened.

4.  I haven't been able to do any blogging without the laptop.  I probably won't be able to make regular updates for the next two or three weeks.  But eventually I'll get this all sorted out.

5.  Since I last wrote about Denali National Park, I've visited a lot of places:

Talkeetna, AK--  Flightseeing trip over Denali and the Alaska range.   Awesome views of the climbing routes on Denali.

Anchorage, AK--  Boring.  Don't go there.  It's a useful place to stop if you need to make an emergency visit to Best Buy.

Seward, AK--  Whalewatching trip in the Kenai Fjords National Park.  Saw several humpback whales.  Hiked along the Exit glacier.  Saw a black bear on the hiking trail.  Laughed in the general direction of the black bear.

Seward, AK--  Lost my computer.  Rode motorcycle through a rainstorm to retrieve the computer.  Had no luck finding the computer.  Met a nice lady at a B&B who told me about how her house burned down.  Met a man from Belgium who survived the Dachau concentration camp when he was seven years old.  (This seriously happened.  I am not making this up.)  Then I stopped feeling so bad about my laptop.

Tok, AK--  Nearly ran into a moose.  The moose must have been about 11 feet tall.

Haines, AK--  Loaded my motorcycle onto a ship.  Sailed the Alaska Marine Highway all the way to Bellingham, WA.  Arrived in Bellingham last Friday morning.

Hope, British Columbia--  Rode through the town where the original Rambo movie was filmed.

Nakusp, BC--  Attended a motorcycle rally over the weekend.  Met a guy from Sri Lanka who has been riding around the world for the past 26 months.  Listened to advice on how to steal an AK-47 from tribesmen in Ethiopia.

That's all the news for now.  I'll let the world know on facebook once my blog is back in business full-time.
