Anything is possible but at what cost in risk and dependence on services of others? I have been snowed on in sept just returning back down the alcan from alaska. Here in montana USA we are expecting snow in the mountains this weekend.

I've travel through worse condition but not on motorcycle.. I was making special Christmas delivery to a wealth rancher in western part of South Dakota and just as I ship out from eastern NC, the forecast was expecting severe winter storm in area of western Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota, and South Dakota before I left.. As I hit the road, I knew I would have to haul ass.. and I had one unfortunate- the heater stopped working as I travel up the mountain of Appalachian so I traveled the whole trip in freezing cold cab.. I did not exactly had proper warm clothes or gloves (for steering wheel). Time was limit and crucial making delivery on time and be home for Christmas (I started the trip on 19th). As soon as I delievered late at night, I turn around and hightail it to home but was really tired I took short nap in freezing cab at Mitchell, SD in parking lot of Caleb's. When I woke up, the whole window on inside was frozen and I had to get creative scrapping it off then hurry eastbound.. by time I get to I-29/I-80 merging lane, the road were in really bad shape and when I saw rest area, I got off the road but there were a lot of trucks parking already on top of thick snow.. no room for me to park. No choice but pressed on through bad road in bad windy snow.. Saw a lot of vehicles and trucks stuck on side of the road.. slowly I creeped east with care but once I finally get past Iowa City, road got better and lot better when I past Davenport, IA getting to home late on Christmas Eve. It's the trip I won't forget and the struggling of maintaining visibility on interior and trying to stay warm, holding in my bladder trying to make time is something I won't forget.. Oh yeah, that 12V heater for $50 at Truck Stop store is worthless it doesn't heat up you cab but at least it kept my hands warm on several occasions! Note: After delivering at rancher's house, I had to haul empty trailer home with me!

I'm a risk taker but with great care.. common sense prevail.. the thing is that I will have time to wait weather out before pressing on IF I decide to go up north sometime next week or two. Just want to check Prudhoe Bay off the bucket list before I head south to Argentina and return to Colombia to live there.. I plan to settle down in Colombia so kinda hard to go north to Alaska on motorcycle once I have a 'home' in Colombia.
