Arctic Circle Trip

8 hours after we left, the car above turned into the car below.

This is what the road looked like, at least on the smooth parts.

The pipeline was no always visible, but it was not far away.

A roadside attraction of the pipeline.

A physical representation of the size of the pipeline, and the state with the pipeline in silver.

An idea of how big it is

An unknown girl sitting atop a cutaway of the pipeline with a cleaning pig in it.
They send this device through and retrieve at the next station to clean the walls of the pipe.

My camera had a hair on it, but this is the bridge over the Yukon River, and the pipeline.
Me at the Sign proving I was there. I had to wait in line for my turn, there were half a dozen cars there, but at least it was not the tour buses that we have run into everywhere.
All through Alaska we have seen these purple flowers, sometimes in vast fields where the woods have been burnt out. Have not yet identified them.
