Author: 3:12 PM: SPOT shows them at Coldfoot Camp. They made great time!!!
4:23 PM: The decision is made!! They fueled up, probably had lunch, a little R&R then mounted up to continue to Fairbanks! It’s 175 miles to Junction and another 84 miles to Fairbanks.
8:33 PM: Junction – End of Dalton Hwy. They are on the Elliott Hwy, 84 miles to Fairbanks.
10:20 PM: Just got off the phone with JV & BS. They are at a Fairbanks car wash cleaning all the mud from their radiator and oil coolers. They’re back to hard liquor, beer, cigars, fast food, fast women, the Suzuki dealership, wireless internet and a 30 degree average temperature increase.
Hope everyone had a great Fathers Day!
It’s been fun! I’m signing off to become a regular blog reader/subscriber. Later this evening, after the guys check in, clean up, get some chow, this blog will return to it’s two adventure riders … JimmyV and Big Steve.

i think they should have done the mount mckinley climb while they were ther
They still can. Mt. McKinley is south of Fairbanks. They've still got lots of time to explore.

So the guys are headed south…I don't know what the plan was/is once they accomplished the primary mission, but I know I'd want to be in warmer temps. I don't know Big Steve, but it's been a long time since JimmyV has lived in through harsh winters. I'm still in awe…they were in the Arctic – at least north of the Arctic Circle…is that technically the Arctic? Who cares, they were there!
I know, I'll be glad when they're back to areas with modern technology so we can hear more stories and get more pics. Be safe in that midnight sun, guys! And welcome back to cyberspace!
Looks like you're back in Fairbanks – can't believe you did the whole ride back in one day! I'm sure the accommodations are much more comfortable than on the Dalton. Can't wait to see the pics – hear the road warrior stories. Fabuloso, guys. Sleep tight.

Ahh, you're back in Fairbanks, sleeping away in the light. Just checking up/in before I'm off for another day/another dollar while you 2 live it up in God's country. Have fun!
