I've both ridden and worked (many times) in Alaska and it is a beautiful place. This was the summer I was going to do the Haul Road so haven't been far north of Fairbanks, but I think I have more memories of the Canadian Rockies. I'd suggest getting to know people as riding buddies from wherever you are first, as spending that long with a stranger is rolling the dice on how your big adventure will turn out. Toward that, it'd help you if you put a location under your avatar.

Steve, I know how much riding with your wife has meant for you and am glad you can still do shorter trips. I loved riding with Karen but started getting pain down her shoulder and back, the docs found she had a cervical age-related cervical issue developing so her riding days are over and the back seat is off my bike. Do them while you can because sooner or later we all move on.
