Riding ALASKA On My Can-Am SPYDER F3...What's in Whittier??

What's in Whittier?? Come see and join along as we ride through our first railroad-highway tunnel, the Anton Anderson Memorial Tunnel, longest railroad-higway tunnel in North America. Was "interesting" to navigate the 2 1/2 mile tunnel with the front tires of the Can-Am Spyder. TommyG and I loved learning the history of Whittier, including the abandoned Buckner Building used during WWII. Whittier has been known as "the city under one roof"...come along and find out why. But, don't blink...because you know what happens when you blink, lol.

    Well, Tommy G had an opportunity to make it a "Tunnel of Love" ride, with words of appreciation with a romantic overtone while enjoying an epic tunnel ride with you Jody.... but nope... the Harley tough guy chose a "Tunnel of Spyder Smack" ride ... I'm so very glad that Karma didn't decide to teach someone a lesson in that tunnel... what an awesome tunnel ride that was 😃😁🤗

But the hotel has a church , usps, store, etc. wish you would have went in. I know you were nearby due to seeing the railroad tunnel. That would have been cool to see from y’all’s eyes.

    technically a few years before I can retire. I doubt I will ever stop working, though. I just need to switch to a type of contract work or have to guts to take long periods of time off to travel. We both still donate weeks of PTO every year back to "the man" by not taking time off. The wife and I are both guilty of working too much.@@PurpleOnThree
