Wow I am jealous! What a great trip - thank you so much for sharing :thumbup:
wait.. so thats why you had tents on the ferry.. cuz it takes a day and a half to get there??? damn.. talk about commitment :thumbup:
Dude, I did some of that on my trip. Have cousins who are trying to move to Juneau and planned that very trip for when they finally move. My wife works in st Charles county, you should have hollered at me. Would have loved to meet you guys.
Thanks for sharing and taking the time to put it together
So what is next ? How do you top that ?
WOW man! Gr8 to see another Desi ADV rider in US. What a trip! You gotta mention some of the preparation that went into this trip and some of your best tips for such an EPIC trip.
I saw Do's (novasquid) report at FZ1OA first. I saw many more in pictures in yours though.
The ferry was $212.00 one way from Prince Rupert to Haines.
For a private cabin it was another $100 or so. I never got a cabin.
We departed Prince Rupert on Tue, Aug 10, 2010 @ 06:30 PM.
Arrived in Haines on Thu, Aug 12, 2010 @ 05:45 AM.
Duration: 1 day, 11hr, 15min.

Definitely worth doing.
If you were to take the ferry, how many miles does it save off the trip?
Trying to get an idea of how much it would cost to ride it. With the price of the local fuel and if it's like a thousand miles, you could end up spending $100 for fuel alone so the ferry ride wouldn't seem that expensive. Since you recently did the trip, maybe you could provide what the actual cost of the fuel was for that area of the region.
How did I miss this thread Thats is one of the most epic trips EVER & the scenery is breathtaking :thumbup:
We had a desi in the arctic circle and you missed it. Nice job.holy ****!! me too!
gonna read this when i get home.
quite frankly you inspired me. I have been mapping routes to get to the "circle" for the last few days. Especially after seeing the documentary "Arctic Clutch" on the Youtubes.
I think it would be a good time!
I'm such a glutton for punishment.
holy ****!! me too!
