Our first exciting moment happened in the car park before we had even left. Edwin took the bike off the centre stand and it immediately toppled over on top of Kevin the group leader taking Edwin with i http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/Alaska/Prudhoe-Bay/blog-435532.html To the north country Over the last couple days Derek and I made it to Deadhorse and back to Fairbanks. On Monday we drive to Coldfoot. Tuesday we drive to Deadhorse took the tour of the oil fields and to the Arctic Ocean and drove back to Coldfoot. We didn't get back to Coldfoot until 1am. Long day but I think we did it the right way. We left all of our stuff in Coldfood the day we went to Deadhorse and rode http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/Alaska/Prudhoe-Bay/blog-423710.html As north as north gets in North America We have ridden around 1000 miles north from Anchorage to Deadhorse Alaska chiefly to go for a skinny dip in the Arctic Ocean. Deadhorse is the most northerly settlement of Alaska reachable by land transport. The 400 mile dirt road that runs up here only exists to service the huge Prudhoe Bay oil exploration area and the pipeline that runs south to Valdez.On the way we crossed into the Arct http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/Alaska/Prudhoe-Bay/blog-423499.html Whitehorse Yukon Canada to Deadhorse aka Prudhoe Bay Alaska United States finished Finished a couple of days ago. Feels good. Got into Deadhorse Alaska on 26 July just before lunchtime. You can't ride or drive any further north than Deadhorse. Access to the Arctic Ocean is restricted to private commercial tours which cost 38USD to go and look at an unappealing bit of water with oilfield debris floating around in it. After over 18 months on the road I have nowhere left to push. http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/Alaska/Prudhoe-Bay/blog-190671.html
