Sorry, This 50 yr-old body needed some surgical maintenance. Hope to be riding mid-January.

Re: Nov. 21st Hilltop Ride Report.

Yup - surgeon told me I could start riding mid-December. Tolvana was too awesome to miss. May need some assistance setting up the Arctic Oven if I take it.

Re: Nov. 21st Hilltop Ride Report.

Can't ride for a month or so due to surgery. Looked out my window all day yesterday wanting to ride. Sounds fun!

Re: Tolovana Hot Springs 2015

Again...I can always bring my Arctic Oven if we need to. With all of the snoring you guys talked about last year, I may bring it anyway just for the peace and quiet. :shh: :shh:

Re: Tolovana Hot Springs 2015

I will be going it alone. I have a 4-place trailer, so we should coordinate travel.

Re: Ride List 2015-2016

Would love to go back on the Jack River to Caribou Pass from the Denali Hwy. We did it a couple of years ago, and I thought that was a fantastic ride. I've only been there twice, and the last time was when we went, so I don't feel comfortable leading the ride. I think John led the ride. Just a sugge...

Re: Tolovana Hot Springs 2015

I was kind of looking forward to the adventure of taking the same trail as last year, off Murphy Dome. Wanted to see Shawn bury his Chevy again, and find a Ford to pull him out.

Put me down too. I can take my Arctic Oven if needed. James

Re: Alpine Creek Lodge

Incidentally, I asked my son why he made that face in the picture, and he said he "...was trying to look like a serious hunter". He really was happy, even though the picture doesn't look that way.

Re: Alpine Creek Lodge

Had a great ride, which turned out to be a caribou hunt, since my son had a tag that expires March 31. Larry, my two sons and I hunted hard, riding lots of miles, and it paid off when my 13 year-old son made a nice shot on one. We had some ultimate deep powder sledding, chasing a herd of caribou to ...

Re: Alpine Creek Lodge

I booked my room early - no problem there.

I am planning to bring my Siglin cargo sled, and can haul some supplies if needed. I plan to bring gas. My youngest son has a caribou permit that expires at the end of the month, so I need to bring the sled anyway.

Thanks, James

Re: Alpine Creek Lodge

Couple of questions for the ride:
1. Having not been to Alpine Creek Lodge, do they provide bedding or is this a bring your sleeping bag type place?
2. Are we hauling any gas, and if so, is someone bringing a cargo sled? Do they have gas for purchase?

Looking forward to it.

Thanks, James

Re: Deadman Lake April 4-5

Whoa - not sure what I was thinking saying Dec 6th. :wall: Yes, I'm in. Sat and Sun only, correct? I won't have to use any vacation - not that I have any more vacation to use. James
