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. Enter your email below to subscribe:

Pinnacle RV Park
This is the Pinnacle RV park, where they also have laundry, a cafe, wifi, and showers. Showers cost $5, but cost is not why we don't take showers every day. For some reason, it's just no big deal out here. It's hard to explain why, other than it's just an honest outdoor culture, and outward appearances don't mean much here.
I'm at Pinnacle right now. Pinnacle is closer than Palmer, so sometimes I come here to get access to the internet and grab a meal. They have all kinds of animals running around--geese, llamas, dogs, and other cool birds I don't know the name of. They've also got old tractors, bicycles and other oddities lying around. It's an interesting place, run completely by an old man and his wife. I can't imagine how much work they have to do between caring for the animals and running the cafe and all the maintenance that must be required, but Alaskans work hard.
A couple of scenics from the ride from Palmer to Don's:
