What an awesome party at Dwayne and Linda's. They sure know how to feed a crowd. We couldn't have asked for better hosts here in the Anchorage area, they went over the top for us. Tomorrow the group begins to separate with Fred and Cathy heading toward the ferry boat. The rest of us are heading to Denali where we will take the bus tour.

Sounds great. If "the ferry" means the Alaskan State Ferry, they'll have a great trip. Beautiful scenery, stop at some interesting towns (be prepared to share those towns with thousands of people from the cruise ships!). We got off at Prince Rupert and the ride from there east was incredibly beautiful. Don't know how far they're going. But they'll enjoy it. Keep us posted on Denali!

At least now we know who to put in charge of Party-Planning!! :2thumbs:
Now that they've shown how it's done in Alaska; we'll have to get them down here! :yes::yes::yes:

I can't say enough how much I appreciate Linda and Dwayne's hospitality while we were at Eagle River. Daily rydes, good restaurants, and home-cooked banquet at Dwayne's house. It was wonderful fellowship and the last time all the NtA would be together, since Fred and Cathy left this morning for a ryde to Haines where they'll catch the ferry back to Bellingham, Wash. After the Denali excursion the group will disperse even more, but I'm sure we'll keep blogging here.

Thank you for your comments. Linda and I have had the best week ever. We have met some of the greatest people, made new friends, got to share some Alaska rides that the average tourist will never see.

And then you folks are off to some even greater adventures.

I have never seen Linda more excited or happy to meet and interact with such a great group.

Our time together, yesterday with all, both before and after the banquet was the best.

You folks have given us the greatest summer yet. :bowdown::bowdown::bowdown:

We are getting ready to meet with the NTA group departing North on the next leg of their journey.

Linda and I are going to ride with them to Talkeetna. They are going to take the sidebar (34 miles) into historic Talkeetna, stop for lunch, and then we will part company at the Talkeetna Jct. Tesoro gas station.

Both Linda and I are anticipating a very sad farewell. It has been a great week. :yes::yes:

The group has left Eagle River an hour ago. I had fun meeting all of them. Weather is perfect here today for a ride.
