Wow, beautiful! Sounds like a very technical (and fun) ride too. Love all the pics and your description is just wonderful. I’ve enjoyed tagging along Stacey

I am impressed by both of your “Fear not” attitude. You both know what could happen on the road but you go for it anyway. My buddies did this ride 2 years ago and said it was awesome but it wasn’t easy between the bugs, road conditions, wildlife and the sheer remoteness you can’t fathom until you’ve been there. I’m impressed that Shana has done so well on the trip but also my little mechanical protege, James, has managed so well to keep the bikes running. The Cassiar Highway is pretty remote as well so your not out of the woods by any stretch of the imagination but it’s a great stretch of road as well…

When I visited James when he was stationed in Kodiak, I too sensed the determination of nature to grow and bloom as fast as it could because soon the season would change and it would devour its own summer beauty with the elegance of the frigid cold.
LIFE itself “has never been about the destination, but rather the journey” Shana, sweetie, you are so eloquent…I look forward to reading the blogs as much as I enjoy the pictures! James, I am proud of you for making the journey successfully, but you, Shana, you AMAZE me. As you said, he is a more experienced rider, his USCG training has made him a man’s man, as much as his sheer will to succeed. But you, OMG, YOU DID IT! I don’t know of another woman in the world who could be a more perfect life companion for my son! I love you both dearly!
