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 you 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 4 years. However, I would do this tour again, and I just might in 2010. I took a handheld GPS and recorded the locations of where we spent each night; Here is a map of the route: View Larger Map 06_10_Frank_start.jpg 06_10_Seeley_Lake_Camp.jpg 06_12_Wild_Teddy_Bears.jpg 06_13_camp.jpg 06_14_logan_pass.jpg 06_15_Bear_Grass.jpg 06_16_Dinner_out.jpg 06_16_camp.jpg 06_17_franks_slide.jpg 06_18_big_truck.jpg 06_22_divide_two.jpg 06_23_Hanging_out.jpg 06_26_yellowhead02.jpg 06_27_Big_Horn_Sheep.jpg 06_30_third_divide.jpg 07_01_Frank_swinging.jpg 07_01_McBride_Start_Line.jpg 07_06_Hewes_Fan_Club.jpg 07_09_cassiar_start.jpg 07_10_self_port.jpg 07_11_hyder_glacier.jpg 07_16_cassiar_mud.jpg 07_18_self_port.jpg 07_19_david.jpg 07_20_yukon_start.jpg 07_26_major_mud.jpg 08_01_klondike_kate1.jpg 08_07_delta.jpg 08_13_denali_horns.jpg 08_13_wonder_lake.jpg 08_18_nstar_log1.jpg 08_18_nstar_log2.jpg 08_18_nstar_log3.jpg 08_18_nstar_log4.jpg 08_18_nstar_log5.jpg
