    OMG! This video brought back so many memories! In 2010, 3 of us started in Glen Allen , self supported, on our touring bicycles and rode to the Denali Hwy, rode the Hwy, and went on to Denali. We then rode the 95 miles to the the back of Denali National Park and camped at Wonder Lake. It was one of the most incredible 2 weeks of my life! The scenery! The wildlife! Like you said, you can’t do it justice with a camera! Absolutely awesome! Thanks for the video!

    What a nice little adventure. As a lifelong fan of motorcycling (who also took a break of sorts when becoming a parent), this was especially engaging. I'm glad you went on the trip. What you said about "may be next time, may be never" is true. There are things I took for granted earlier in life, thinking I'd have the opportunity to do them later, but that's not always the case. Thanks for sharing. Be safe and have fun!

    Hi Dave, I make the trip to the Denali Highway every year. I usually take 3-4 days across from the Cantwell side, I take my time to camp and fish. Then, I go the Glenn Highway to Wasilla and back home to Willow. The lodge in Paxton was called the Paxon Lodge. I worked there as the dishwasher many years ago and the family that owned it were a crazy bunch, always arguing, lol. It was nice to see you making this trip, it is one of the no.1 areas to go. Great hunting as well. Thanks for sharing.

    Loved the trip back through memory lane around Delta Junction Dave, I'm currently running a Kawasaki KLR 650 myself. As I sit here at my desk watching your video while making a 6figure income working for the railroad and pullinga 24hr shift, I can't help but feel envious jealous sad and happy all at the same time. Some days I wish I could just chuck it all and just go out wander around and be totally free but then I think, man I've built 1 hell of a retirement for myself and now I'm in a position where I'm only working 15days a month so I've set myself up with a lot more me time to chase my dreams although it may only be 9days at a time, it took me awhileto get to this place in my life. Keep living your dreams and may God continue to bless you and Brooke with good health and many more years of adventures. Hope to run into you both sometime whether it be in Alaska or back in Michigan, would love to share a campfire with you both.

    Dave, thank you for sharing this trip! My wife and I went to Alaska last year. After spending a week on the Kenai peninsula, we drove up to Fairbanks and spent a few days on the Chena river. From there we took the same road you came back on, through Paxson, and stayed at the Lake Louise lodge before heading back to Anchorage. As I was watching the video, I kept telling my wife “I remember that spot!”
    You are so fortunate to be able to spend so much time in Alaska, and thank you again for sharing.
