In the Beginning...

I am about to depart for Prudhoe Bay, AK.  I've named this trip "The Final Corner-The Norm Babcock Memorial Ride ".  Norm and I were able to ride to some very special and remote locations: Nordkapp (Norway), the furthest most northern point in Europe; the Cape of Good Hope (S. Africa), the southern most tip of Africa; and Ushuaia (Argentina), the southern most point in South America, but we never made it to Prudhoe Bay (aka Deadhorse, AK), the northern most point in North America.  We had always planned to do Prudhoe eventually, but he became too ill before we could.

One day it occurred to me that we had ridden to three of the four most remote corners on this Planet, but never made it to Prudhoe.  You know, not many people can say that.  So that's what I'm going to try and do...for him...for us...to complete The Final Corner of the World. This one's for you, Norm.
