Thank you Hewes Agnew, Jerry Augden, Bud Barker, David Berger, Bill Bliss (rest in peace, 24jun05), Pat Giles (rest in peace, 14jan03), Robert Austin, Hsu Shiangold, and Guy Barel (leader). This was an Adventure Cycling tour, The North Star Expedition. Overall, it was an outstanding journey - challenging terrain, largely empty territory, serious mosquito battles, well executed teamwork, and great riding companions. My one complaint is that the Expedition was run on too small a budget. Why sleep off the side of the road with no facilities when for a few dollars more can stay at a campground or even (gasp!) a hotel room? Another consequence of the too small budget was that I couldn't eat peanut butter for about a decade. However, I would do this tour again. I took a handheld GPS and recorded the locations of where we spent each night; Here is a map of the route:
