Lust for Hyder
Portland to Hyder… Riding Directions from Portland, OR to Hyder, AK ala MapQuest
Laura and I have been talking about going to Hyder, AK this coming summer. I can’t express how passionate I am about this trip. I really want to go, right NOW. Alas, mid-summer is target date.
Logistically, I would like to get a set of Givis cases so that I can carry a bit more while keeping everything dry. New tires are already on my list. I would like to change out my heated grips to something a bit more tolerable. The new Milepost will be published in March. I should buy a little gas can for those long stretches with unknown services and score some more camping fuel. Then of course the saving of cash to go… That’s about it.
For those of you that don’t know me that well. I lived in Fairbanks for a short time attending UAF back in the early ’90s and my parents moved back to Texas from Delta Junction, AK a few months before I was born. I missed being an Alaskan by about 60 or 70 days. Instead I am a native Texan with the Alaskan distain for authority. A wonderful combination. LOL.
