Crazy Ferry Ride

Man I've had a great week since leaving Alaska. I'm currently in Bellingham, WA with a new friend I met on the ferry, Bryan. He's really into motorcycles and helped me clean my radiator along with Mike, another friend from the ferry. Mike is from Alabama and is riding a Triumph.

A ton of mud was still in my radiator from the trip to Prudhoe Bay, and the bike had been running hot. We first soaked it in hot water which got a lot of the mud out, but in the end we resorted to soaking it in gasoline. That did the trick.

I boarded the ferry in Whittier, a very small and odd town. Had to kill a day there since the ferry departed at 11:45pm.

I have some catching up to do on the ferry ride, but today I'm riding to Whistler, BC.
