danrider 5 Posted January 8, 2018 On the 18th of January at 6:00 I will be at Stone Brew in Escondido to discuss another trip to Alaska. This time around I would like to put in a side step into it to Bella Coola on the way home. This would be a option for those who would like to do Alaska but are on a timeline, you could bail the and head home outside of Jasper on the way home. I have talked with JAJA and he and I will be working out the details to do as little of freeway driving as possible, back country roads as much as possible. This trip will consist of no reservations and as much camping as possible. You can keep the cost of this epic ride down to where every guy who has ever wanted to do this ride very affordable. When I did it with Diego we had a blast for under $3,000.00. If you are married I will make time so you can fly your wife in to visit you for the trip. I do understand if you are a working man the time it takes to do this trip, that is why I am doing Bella Coola at the end so those who have a dream of doing an epic ride other than the BDR's you can join. That part at the end will be two weeks. If you are interested in doing this or just part of it please attend, I am hoping we can get some interest , We will discuss departure dates at that time.

Before I answer this question I will need to see who all wants in and what time constraints I am working with. I know a minimum will be three weeks. But that does not mean you cannot do Bella Coola which will be 60%dirt. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
