I finally made it to my destination. After 4000 miles and 6 days on the road with one day of mechanical in Edmonton I arrived last night. The last 50 miles of Canada were brutal on both me and the bike. The frost heaves were about 20 feet long and about 2-3 feet high. The only way to describe it is like riding a jet ski on pavement.
Once I finally arrived in Wasilla, about the second stop light I came to I just happened to see Medic 1s squad car. We exchanged glances and an the next stop light I pulled up next to him and he rolled down the window.
"You the new intern?"
"Yup"
"Ok, follow me"
I had my own private escort to the fire house. I got all my stuff inside and hung out for a little wile before heading to bed. It felt good to get a good nights sleep and not have to wake up a 7am and get on the bike in below freezing weather.

Everyone here is really nice, I don't think I came across as too crazy for making the ride on a motorcycle but I defiantly got some empathy for being tired and scruffy.
I went to wal-mart and got the basic stuff, sheets, shampoo, razer, a new nalgene,the old one got left in Oklahoma ;-( . I am having trouble getting my pictures off my camera but i'm working on it.
