Sutton, AK to Eagle River, AK
45 miles

We're in spitting distance to Anchorage. Mixed emotions is the best
way to describe how we feel. Excited to finish this unbelievable journey
but sad because, well the journey is over. Discovering new places and
meeting new people was the highlight of the trip.

We ticked away miles and I suppose the adrenaline is working overtime
because I didn't feel any of the usual aches and pains. All I tried to
do in my mind today was comprehend how far we have actually ridden. I
had an extremely difficult time doing so. There will be no words to
describe the full extent of the journey. I can only write so much on the
blog, you guys would get bored anyway, it just scratches the surface
of the trip. It will be a lifetime of memories.

We are really excited about our good friends Andi, Marta, Carl, Sandra
and my fiance, Susannah flying up here to meet us. We will be in
staying in Girdwood which is just south of Anchorage. To Kristina and Adam
from Waynesville, NC e-mail me at (keytoanchorage@pocketmail.com) if
you're up here between Aug 18th to 25th. To friends flying up here, if
you can look out the window from the plane when you fly over Canada. If
your lucky, you'll get to see some of the icefields as well as the
glaciers. You guys will also understand what we mean by sparse.

Only 13 miles to the destination. I know, I can't believe it either.

Good night.

Jin, Glenn, Josh
1 mile at a time...
