I'm riding my Yamaha FJR1300 to Alaska from Washington, DC. The main reason for the trip is to reconnect with a Sportsmobile that I left there the summer of 2010. I lived in it that summer while I was taking pictures of ice climbers on the Matanuska glacier, but left it there and flew home. So this is a recovery mission, but actually the plan is to sell it there, then ride the motorcycle back by the end of August.

Made it Home
I arrived home on Monday, Sep 3rd. After 15,000 relatively incident free miles on my motorcycle, my car decided it needed a new alternator. Welcome home.
Here's some footage from Al's combine in Iowa. That was awesome.
Back to work on Monday. Check back though, I'd like to do a gear review from the trip and talk about what worked and didn't, stuff like that.
Congratulations on a great trip. You really did a wonderful job of keeping all of us updated on your journey. I followed you all the way and look forward to your epilogue on equipment.
Hey Andy, Great blog, it was great to compare notes along the way for our somewhat similar trips!
Also, I happened to find a shot of you riding through the Brooks Range and would like to send it your way, some good ol' nostalgia factor! Let me know if you'd like me to send it nathannorby@gmail.com. (I was the skinny guy on the old goldwing)
