Dang, the Haul Road is one heck of a ride! After breakfast in Coldfoot we met a couple of Russian guys who'd just returned from Deadhorse. They were pulling a trailer made out of a 55 gallon oil drum behind one of their Harley's, definitely a fashion statement. They said they made the ride in 5 hours so we figured it would take us at least 7 or so and that proved to be a good guess.
The ride itself was fairly uneventful if you consider 247 miles of potholes as such. We stopped several times to rest and once to fuel up using our spare cans. Mac liked the Antigun pass the best, said it went on forever. We arrived in Deadhorse late in the afternoon, tired and beat but without any serious bike problems. The Prudhoe Bay Hotel turned out to be great, $180 per night for the 2 of us but including all meals and a free laundry room. The food is great, prime rib being on the evening meal our first night. We stuffed ourselves and crashed early. What else is there to say? We made it!
