Christmas comes a little early for me this year. A Christmas comes a little early for me this year. A new adventure vehicle to add to the fleet. #segwayx260 electric dirt bike. I stopped riding my mountain bike years ago when I fell head first into adventure motorcycling. This electric dirt bike is an amazing hybrid between dirt bikes and mountain bikes. If you enjoy riding either of those you need to get your hands on one of these. #exploremore #electricdirtbike #gofastgofargolight

Well the great Alaskan journey is now complete. Me Well the great Alaskan journey is now complete. Me and @beerrunneraudra managed to drink our way across the great state of Alaska and make it home safe. We visited some amazing breweries along the way. My personal favorite from the trip was a Mango Siam Sour from @49thstatebrewing. Until next time... Stay wild Alaska, I'll be back soon. Probably on two wheels next time. #beeringacrossalaska #beerporn #beerstagram @kingstbrewco @turnagainbrewing @denalibrewing @@moosestoothpub @anchoragebrewing @cynosurebrewing @cooper_landing_brewing_company @sewardbrewing @graceridgebrewing @steliasbrewingco @midnightsunbrewingco @magnorthbrewing
Hatchers pass... Alaska. We took the advise of a l Hatchers pass... Alaska. We took the advise of a local Talkeetna resident and made a detour on our way back down south. Hatchers pass is a magical little gravel road that goes up and over the mountain. It turned out to be one of the most scenic drives we've done in the past two weeks. The road connects the town of Willow to Fishhook. #summitlake #hatcherspassalaska #avalancheterrain #groundsquirrelsofinstagram
Our final day I'm Talkeetna, Alaska. We stayed in Our final day I'm Talkeetna, Alaska. We stayed in a sweet little tiny home that was built and owned by a float plane pilot. Decided to take a flight with him the following morning around the Talkeetna mountain range. Apparently this house was featured on an HGTV episode about tiny homes a few years back. The plane was a 1974 Cessna float plane that he purchased back in 1997. He refused to let me fly it. #talkeetnaalaska #floatplane #antiquesnowmobile #tinyhome #tinyhomesalaska
Highlights from our trip into #denalinationalpark. Highlights from our trip into #denalinationalpark. If you don't know about this park you should look it up. 6 million acres of protected land that is only accessible by commercial bus or backpacking. There is a 90 mile road that runs all the way into the park. What an amazing experience! We caught the park on an overcast and cloudy day which made for some amazing views but unfortunately the mountain was covered in clouds. The 6th photo is our bus driver holding up a photo of what this views would look like if it weren't super cloudy. Visiting these places during a pandemic has been interesting but experiencing these places with 10-15% of the normal crowd has been a treat. #bearsontherun #denaliintheclouds #caribouchillin #braidedriver @denalinps #pandemicparks

Sometimes the most amazing moments happen when you Sometimes the most amazing moments happen when you sit down, stop talking and just observe your surroundings. A few days ago me and @beerrunneraudra took two chairs and two beers to the end of the island to hang out for a bit. After about 30 minutes of skimming the horizon with my binoculars I spotted one of the most amazing sights I've ever seen. About 30 feet from where we were sitting a harbor seal caught an octopus and surfaced as he proceeded to rip it to pieces using his belly as a dinner table. I tried a number of times to catch some video through my binoculars but finally gave up and decided I would just watch as much of this event as I could. It floated past us and took it's time wrestling and/or playing with the octopus as it took one bite after another. It eventually faded off beyond our view and left us speechless. It was something that I'll remember for the rest of my life and I'm thrilled I had my partner in crime there to witness it. It was something from a book or a movie and never in my wildest dreams could I image watching something like this happen in person. Towards the end of the first video you can see the seal's head jerk back as he takes a bite. Once I'm back home I'll try to get a zoomed in version of this scene. #foxislandalaska #harborseal #crazystuffyouseeinalaska
Look mom, I'm on a boat. We spotted some sleeping Look mom, I'm on a boat. We spotted some sleeping sea lions, calving glaciers, and a bunch of coastal mountain goats.
