After a year of planning and preparing, the motorcycle ride to the Arctic Ocean was actually going to happen.

Travel with me up through British Colombia, across the Top of the World Highway, the Yukon River, drink a Sour Toe in Dawson City, fight off panic on the highways, battle the muddy Haul Road for two days, only to reach the town of Deadhorse. A place where no one lives yet has a population of over 3000.

What's an adventure without a little blood? A little danger? A quirky little place of Chicken? And a little insight into one's own measure.
