Last night I received a phone call from an acquaintance of mine, who I had met over this summer while him and his wife were passing through the Seattle area on a “around the state” tour of Washington.
Him and his wife had moved to Washington from Alaska, and were experiencing the sites on his Valkyrie.
So when I finished planning my route, I decided that I would shoot him an message to see if some of the area’s I was passing through, and the times that I had set aside seemed reasonable.
He messaged me back shortly after, wanting to set a time aside for that evening to talk. So last night he gave me a call and we discussed the route, the sights to see, the places to eat, and the date of departure. With all this decided, he agreed to come along, as he had been wanting to hit up Dawson for the Dust to Dawson (D2D), which I had just learned about from him, as well as another trip to Inuvik.
