Neither! Wandering the US...
Turns out that I didn't do Alaska or Panama... long story as to why, but I decided instead to cruise out to San Francisco, do some of those great California Roads, and then head to Glacier National Park. Although... now that I'm sitting here north of San Francisco, I am looking at the map and the ferry timetable for the Bellingham-Valdez ferry on the Alaska Marine Highway.
I may just get a bug and decide to go north - although it would probably be a lot easier to plan it and have a little more time. I need to be back at work on the 15th... Hmmm.
So... news so far? Not much, motored across the US from Thursday to Sunday. Stopped to see the Rocky Mountain National Park again (awesome!), dropped my bike (again!), got stuck in the salt flats west of Salt Lake City (first time - never again!)...
I'll post more when I have a bit more time, but for now, some pics...

How the heck did you dump it and get stuck?
well... it's pretty easy to drop it if you're not thinking... and I wasn't thinking. The funny thing is I did the exact same thing about a year ago on a different bike within a few hundred miles of this location. I rode by a cool spot and thought, "hmmm... I should get some pictures" and then did a uturn. Obviously I gotta practice my low speed fully loaded uturns!!!!
Ah... the getting stuck part? That damn sand looks a lot harder than it is. The sad part is I walked out on it and jumped up and down to test it - for the first 100 ft or so. Of course I got stuck after 100 ft - right where it turns into a muddy bog with a lite dusting of sand on top of the muddy bog.
Sheeeesh.
