I've never been anywhere...no extreme adventures of that kind for me, and, as anyone who knows me will assert, I am definitely a people-motivated person...if I don't have people contact, I wilt. All of that being the case, however, I have to agree with her. It isn't the pushing on to Alaska that is the point. Indeed, what with the conditions, I suspect it may be the wiser choice *not* to push on but (and it's the biggest but I have ;-) I would still argue that staying out is a good idea, given the initial rationale for the trip, and given how time - and solitude - tend to help clear the brain.
The decision of course must be the one learnteach chooses for himself. I think that what both she, and I, and near as I can tell, practically everyone else, are suggesting is that he re-think the trip, and vary it to meet his needs (especially for interesting scenery and safer riding conditions!), rather than just discarding it altogether.
