This post is in the Wal-Mart parking lot. In the winter when it is very cold you plug your vehicle into it so as not freeze up the engine or else you leave the vehicle running.

Made it to Chena hot springs yesterday. Nice greenhouses.

This rig is from Germany. A 20 year old camper put on a 6 year old diesel Nissan truck.

I just compleated the round trip to the Attic circle. 3 days with stops from Fairbanks. About 400 miles mostly gravel road. Gas was $4.49 pg at Yukon crossing. Got a crack in the windshield. Caught Attic Grayling. Blue berries are ripe.

Alyeska pipe line. First glacier of this trip, on the Denali Hwy. There were many more. At one time I could count 5 glaciers. More Arctic Grayling. Cracked winshield, expected that but hoped not. Small museum at a Roadhouse. The owner of Roadhouse grew up where I now live, small eworld. My mascot tree. About to wash down stream.

I'm now on the parks Hwy which runs North-south from Fairbanks to Anchorage. This igloo was built many years ago and never completed. Its for sale Google it. This road store is something else at Trapper Creek. Of course I had to stop at the Denali brewery. Mitey fine beer. Wild strawberries an dandeline leaves for dinner. Sunset from camp at Talkeetna. Would make an interesting camper. Nice wolf. A snow-go. Down town Talkeetna. Catch of the day. Had to have my fireworks, parks Hwy just before Wasilla. Onother bat mobile.

Hi Darrel,

Twice I've scrolled thru your Alaska travel pics, but twice will not be enough!  Always I have dreamed of an Alaska road trip,  but never, even in my wildest imagination, did Alaska loom so colorfully.  Who could have predicted the quirkiness?  Or the $13 slice of watermelon!   It's a feast for the eyes, that's sure.  You must be having the time of your life.   Stay well & be safe (enough). 

Thanks, *so much* for posting these pics!

Scarlett

Fishing hole, man made. Fish are released as smolt here thereby they are imprinted to return and spawn. Pole fishing until mid August then snag fishing opens up.

Fish cleaning station on the Kenai river. Yep on my way back to Anchorage.

Check out this sky. I looked up and this cloud below the sun had rainbow colors in it, much more color with polarized sunglasses though.
