Summary

Destination North Pole is endearing, humorous, dangerous and sometimes, quirky travelogue. An old guy, on an old bicycle supported by a sag-wagon (his loving wife) ventures north. She traveled ahead to find nightly food and lodging as he peddled an average of 121 kilometers (75 miles) per-day for forty days searching for iconic North Pole. Nature awakened history and imagination of the senior pensioners. A love emerged from the flat Dakota Plains, Canada's Prairie Provinces, British Columbia into the vast Yukon and Alaska through eight mountain ranges with pristine streams and hot springs over massive glaciated rivers and permafrost. Wildlife? Dangers? Risks? Constantly! Hundreds of black bears and grizzlies blocked deer, elk, moose, wood bison, wolves, bicyclists, and other critters from lush roadsides. Elements (rain, wind, flurries and chilly mornings) heighten the desire for sun, wildflowers, rippling streams, glaciated mountains, hot baths and soft beds. A couple's love and a path through nature opened opportunities for others on this 5,000 kilometers (3,000 mile) adventure-Destination North Pole
