Alaska is a wonderful place. Personally, my best times have been
kayaking and being out in the bush. I didn't find riding 1,000s of
miles on the road to be very rewarding, and Alaska simply doesn't
have a lot of places to go off-road riding. Nonetheless, I would
visit every year if I had the time. Next trip I hope to do more
kayaking in PWS and visit Ketchikan and surround areas. I've heard
nice things about the area. How do you get your KLR in/out of
Ketch??? I spent a few days in Wrangel St Elias last year and boy, I
miss those tasty Copper River salmon! As for seeing your own
state...I lived in Massachusetts for many years and moto touring it
never crossed my mind...boring. NH and VT were a bit more
interesting especially in Fall season, but rock climbing in North
Conway and hiking the White Mountains were my favorites.
