• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Alaska

Yes, Yazz was the first and MurphyBrown and her group of twelve or so (including SpyderAnn) visited us for a week and then continued to explore points North.

I lived there for almost 20 years and had the pleasure of meeting up with the NtA group. See my album on the subject. We had a great time.

There is now a problem for Spyder owners that go there. There is now NO dealer for Spyders. He told me they were going to service spyders...but IMO, that is dubious at best. I would check before going. Dealer was Team CC in Eagle River & Wasilla. I bought five of my Spyders from them when I lived there.

Here is a link to the NtA picture album. I have five or so other albums with photos of Alaska over the years.

That is my biggest concern about Spyder ownership, dealer availability, if available, then competence to do maintenance, and repair. Most would say here, DIY, great idea and I support that, but at some point we get long in tooth and not able those things.

All of my experiences with the dealer in AK were good until about 2018. The last two years, the service was not so good. No parts, make an appt. two months in advance, etc. Had I stayed there, I would have been done with Spyder.
 
Here's that search again, & I've re-done the original :sour:

If it's still not working, you should be able to go to Advanced Search, enter the search term 'North to Alaska', change the 'search all posts' to 'search titles only', then hit Search/submit. It should return every thread & some individual posts that discuss heading North to Alaska, including SpyderAnn01's blog & some earlier posts/threads too - some going back almost 10 years!! :ohyea: Hope it works for you now. :thumbup:
