There are hundreds of trucks coming and going. Each one that passes is pretty burly. Sent on the Now Network� from my Sprint® BlackBerry

This was the gas station and motel. There was a girl working there for her first week. She goes to Hofstra in Queens, NY and decided to work here for the summer. Good luck Alana!

Super nice guy. We were trying to fix the heater controls on our truck when he rolled up. He got out with a shovel that I thought for sure he was going to brain us with. After cleaning up his truck he stopped over and started chatting us up. Gave us atour of his truck and a quick education on 5th wheel placement and the Dalton. His dad is a big-time guide in Alaska. Best of luck Cody.

The mud is mixed with lime or something that is used to keep the dust down....makes a sort of dirty concrete that does not come off easily. Looks cool though.

Straight up Tundra! This was a view from an outcropping of rocks that has been known as a scouting position for hunting caribou back in the day. We climbed all over the rocks and this picture does not do justice to the view.

Pretty amazing that this this is so long. We followed a lot of this along the way since the Dalton was built to help access the pipeline. There is an old highway that is to the west. A trucker met on the way said it was pretty sketchy but would make for a pretty exciting time.

Sat, 30 May 2009 10:26:07 -0700 Good Morning Fairbanks http://pdxdesigns.posterous.com/good-morning-fairbanks http://pdxdesigns.posterous.com/good-morning-fairbanks Got up early this morning though it was hard to sleep considering it
never got dark at all. It was bright enough to read by at midnight.
Got some rain and it's a bit colder than it has been so far. I went
for a swim and met a German family of 4 that has, for the past 4
years, been coming to Alaska for these wild vacations. They are going
by canoe down a couple of long rivers where there is no road or
vehicle access. They are going to be in the wilderness for 2 months
and have to pretty much take everything that they need with them. The
villages that they come across will be able to supply them with
emergency food and supplies, but for the most part they have to bring
everything. Pretty neat and I wish them the best of luck, especially
since they will not even have a cell phone.

 Incredible.

Img00199

Took a lot longer than we thought it would. Spent two nights in the Canadian Rockies which was pretty incredible. We have seen a lot of wildlife:
8 moose
1 fox
6 big horn sheep
8 black bear
5 grizzlies
1 porcupine
2 deer
2 caribou
2 extremely stinky men.
 
Pretty fired up to have a slightly relaxed evening before heading to the arctic circle tomorrow. Having breakfast in Tok, AK
