It's a great trail but Sam has watered down some of the trails around CO

Well of course, he has got to keep people on their toes that are stealing his maps.

I saw him a couple of days later in Deadhorse. This poor bastard was covered in shite from head to toe. They use some kind of binding agent to keep the dust down, but when it gets wet, it gets on everything and dries like gunite. He was missing one of his saddlebags. It stuck out further than he was used to and he had hit a bollard at a gas station. He truly looked miserable. I gave him a beer and tried to cheer him up. How many people ever see Deadhorse Alaska? Not many. How many ride a motorcycle from Ohio? None! Just you, dude! You're one of a kind, you've got lifetime bragging rights, etc.

Road to Prudhoe is still like that. Passing trucks is crazy because of the dust being kicked up makes it hard to see.

Many aerostitch suits have been ruined making the trip up to there.
