I'm going to be doing the same trip - also solo - but a little bit later, like early July. Would be interested in knowing how it works out for you?
What bike you riding?
Cheers,
Eryl (aka Carreg Cennen)

Prudhoe Bay
Hi,
I am also looking to travel to Prudhoe Bay in early July.
Currently travelling alone on a BMW R1200 GSA.
My bike will arrive in Seattle or Vancouver (haven't decided yet) on approx 28th/29th June from Kuwait, afterwhich i will either ride ( or preferably ) transport the bike by train/lorry/ship to Anchorage or Fairbanks. Which ever is quickest and/or cheapest. ( I previously got a quote of $1500 to airfreight my bike from Seattle to Anchorage, but thats more than i was hoping to pay.) I shall be flying in from London.
I plan an overnight stay in Prudhoe Bay then back south, (perhaps via Anchorage) to California.
Sorry for rambling on.

prudhoe bay
I note that you are looking for an inexpensive way to travel to Alaska from Seattle or Vancouver, with your bike.
There is a ferry which runs from Bellingham in Washington state ( approx.
mid-way between Vancouver and Seattle) to Alaska -- known as the Alaska Marine Highway. It also stops in Prince Rupert, BC.
Hope this is of help to you.
Enjoy your trip!

Hi Francis,
Thank you for you advice re Alaska Marine highway.
I have had a brief look at their website and am now deciding how far up to sail, whether that be Bellingham to Skagway, or further up tho Whittier. Each leg is costing approx $300-400 and that is just for the bike freight. Accomodation is similary expensive, unless i decide to sleep in my bag for the duration.
Still unsure. I am trying to balance out cost against travel time.
Thanks again for your help.
