On May 11th we got together to talk about our route plans, gear choices, packing strategies, and just plain getting caught on each others lives.
Shawn made sure everyone agreed we would be seeing each other in 4-5 different outfits for 3-1/2 weeks.

Burgers at Islands in Brea , CA and a night cap at The Coffee Bean across the street.
The big trip is just around the corner.

Introduction

Scott & Shawn Cathey with Chuck & Barbara Wolfe are heading north to Alaska on June 15th, 2012.
Distance: 6000 miles of travel on motorcycles and 1800 miles of ferries. Please follow us on this great adventure.

Scott met Chuck through a business relationship back in the early 1990's. Both are in the metal fabrication industry. Once it was discovered they both loved motorcycling they began riding together. Many miles and many memories!


In 2006, along with our wives, Shawn and Barbara, we went to Europe together and rode Southern Germany, Austria, Switzerland, and the Dolomites in Northern Italy for twelve days.  It was a trip to remember....nearly 2000 miles of awesome roads, thirteen alpine passes, great weather, incredible food, and first class lodging to rest and talk about the day's events.
