                    <title>R.I.P.  Old Buck</title>
                    <description>After 11 years and 188000 miles good old Buck my 2002 Suburban is gone totalled. I named the Burban after Buck the half German Shepherd half St. Bernard sled dog that is the hero of Jack London39s Call of the Wild because of Buck39s large size loyalty and dependability. I know that men often refer to their vehicles as she and I do too. But when we made the Alaska trip together an</description>

                    <description>Contributing Photographer Michael Weinstein Our last ride of the week is a ride to Manitowish Waters WI where the Little Bohemia Lodge is located. httplittlebohemialodge.com I figured we would have lunch there since the food is excellent at the lodge. We took Trail 8 heading west and once again the trails were stupendous. It39s just amazing every trail perfect. The weather was beautifu</description>

                    <description>Contributing Photographer Michael Weinstein The next morning we got an early start and left Big Bay on Trail 14. The plan was to ride the 40 miles down Trail 5 toward Michigamme and then ride west on Trail 8 to Kenton. At least the WAS the plan. The guide me thought he knew the trails without checking the current trail map and didn39t know that they changed where the intersection of Trail 14</description>

                    <description>Contributing Photographer Michael Weinstein We awoke to a freezing drizzle in Copper Harbor. This is probably the worst condition for riding. The drizzle freezes to the visor of your helmet within seconds and reduces visibility to close to zero. By the time we finished breakfast across the street at the Pines Restaurant the drizzle changed over to snow thankfully. It snowed hard after that all </description>

                    <description>Contributing Photographer Michael WeinsteinOur riding itinerary for the week included making a saddlebag three day cross country trip. For this trip we packed what we would need for the next three days in the expandable tunnel bags on our snowmobiles. Tuesday we rode from Land O39 Lakes WI to Copper Harbor MI the northernmost point in the Upper Peninsula. We headed north on Trail 3 to Wat</description>

                    <description>Contributing Photographer Michael Weinstein We planned on making a variation of Dawn39s Loop today. We left The Gateway at 900 AM and headed west towards Bent39s Camp on the Cisco Chain of Lakes. The trail goes over 4 lakes in the chain marked by orange barrels. We rode the lakes north to the Cisco Bar then further north to Trail 2 in Michigan. We headed west on Trail 2 to to Trail 1 wh</description>

                    <description>Contributing Photographer Michael Weinstein A couple years ago I made a snowmobile tour of the Gaspe Peninsula in Quebec. While on that trip I met a fellow snowmobiler who happened to be from Brooklyn NY Michael Weinstein. We hit it off on that trip and have stayed in touch. Back around October we discussed riding together again and we came up with the idea that he would come to Chicago and </description>

                    <description>It39s been a very slow beginning to the snow season here in the upper Midwest. There have been a couple pretty good snow storms but they have tracked much further south than the northwoods of Wisconsin and the Upper Peninsula of Michigan where I usually ride.Southern and central Wisconsin have a large array of well maintained snowmobile trails similar to the northern trails.

                    <description>This one is for Jan Dan and Marilyn and anyone else who may have the time on their hands to pay attention to these blogs.Since a large part of any Alaska vacation is seeing glaciers I thought it would be interesting to see who could name the glaciers that were pictured and named in the entries published during this trip.We saw many more glaciers than are listed in the photos but these were the </description>

                    <title>Denali National Park</title>
                    <description>This trip has gone really well. The weather which obviously is out of our control has been fantastic. The planning which we did control was very good with one exception. I planned today to be an 8 hour bus tour of Denali National Park. Three years ago I couldn39t fit this into my itinerary and drove into the park with the Suburban to see what I could see. Well you can only drive private v</description>

                    <description>After our breakfast at the Mile High I returned to the lodge to work on these blogs and the rest of the crew headed back into town. Since today was relatively relaxing after the 3 hour flight and tomorrow would be a long day doing an 8 hour bus tour of Denali Natl Park tonight we were going to dinner with Howard and Darlene at the Talkeetna Alaskan Lodge a high end lodge with a great restaurant</description>

                    <title>Conquering Mt. McKinley</title>
                    <description>We have another exciting adventure planned for today. At 800AM we drove over to Talkeetna Air Taxi at the Talkeetna Airport. Talkeetna Airport is the base for all flightseeing tours of Denali and also the base for climbers to be flown up to base camps where they start their climb of Mt. McKinley. Each year about1200 people attempt to climb it. On June 16th 4 Japanese climbers died climbing afte</description>

                    <description>The day after our Brooks River excursion we checked out of our hotel in Anchorage and started driving the 212 hour drive to the town of Talkeetna. On the way we would pass through Wasilla Sarah Palin39s home town and saw a lot of pretty scenery once again driving north on the Parks Highway. The weather was pretty good 6039s and cloudy but no rain.We arrived at our home for the next 3 </description>

                    <description>Sorry but this one39s a biggie. It just has to be big Just a reminder that you can see the full size pictures by clicking on any of them. Today we were to fly to Katmai National Park to see the Brown Bears in the Brooks River feeding on salmon. Brown Bears are what we in the lower 48 call Grizzly Bears. I guess the correct name is Brown Bears as naturalists have been telling us. They are bi</description>

                    <description>After Glacier Bay the ship cruised though College Fjord before arriving in Whittier at about midnight.  There are many glaciers in College Fjord and they are named after eastern colleges.  We didn39t get a lot of time to sightsee here because we were taking part in a music trivia contest on the ship. took secondWe would spend the night there in the harbor before disembarking at around 900 i</description>

                    <description>Oh my god how spectacular nature can be. This is obviously one of the most amazing places on this planet. The whole bay is more than 60 miles long from south to north and all of it was created by a gigantic glacier a few thousand years ago. There are many glaciers in the bay. The whole bay and surrounding area is a national park. We arrived at the mouth of the bay around 800 AM. The weather was </description>

                    <description>We arrived in Skagway about 700 in the morning. It was another of those early wakeups for me. I gave up trying to get back to sleep at 430 and headed up to deck 14 to see the scenery. The further north we39ve gotten the longer the daylight has been. It didn39t get dark until about 1130 and at 300 AM it was rather light. By 430 it was definitely daylight. The ship traveled ever more slo</description>

I was pleasantly surprised to see that it has a population of 30000 and is another cute old mining town. We are having unbelievable luck with the weather. The forecast for today in Juneau is sunny and 81 Everyone tells us it rained all last week and the week before. We39re just going to keep our</description>

The dinner last night was one of the two Let39s play dress up dinners for the cruise. It was a very nice evening and a fine dining experience. Marilyn popped for some excellent wine and we all had a very good evening. We hit a couple of </description>

                    <description>What a difference a day can make When I woke up this morning had a couple cups of coffee and was able to relax I felt a thousand times better than last night. I was one miserable son of a bitch last night. The older I get the more I enjoy a leisurely start to the day. Today everything went as planned. We boarded the ship the Island Princess around 100 and started getting acclimated to our r</description>
