When the first dusting of snow appears high on the mountaintops in Alaska – what the locals call “termination dust” – it is the first sign that summer is winding down. And for us, the appearance of termination dust signals that it is time for us to stay ahead of the snow and head south.
Alaska truly became our home this summer, and to say that leaving is bittersweet would be an understatement. Our three months in Alaska this summer were incredible – despite the rainy, rainy, rainy (did I mention it rained… a LOT!) weather. Of course, the scenery is stunning, and the riding, fishing and hiking were everything you would expect and more.
But what we are going to miss the most are the people… the friendships strengthened and the new friendships made over the past three months are what made this summer so special. Collectively known as the “Fishhook Fatties” they are bound together by a love of adventure riding. And like most adventure riders, they are some of the most down-to-earth, “do anything for you” people we have ever met.
There is much, much more to recap from our awesome summer… but for now it is back to the lower 48 we go carrying a lifetime’s worth of great friendships and great memories along for the ride.
