Crossing the Arctic Circle in Alaska - Long but beautiful drive
YES! I finally crossed the Arctic Circle
The Trip
It was a good trip up there especially I didn't have to drive. Joel drove all the way there and back. Arctic Circle is about 196 miles (315 km) from Fairbanks and most of it is rough road.
Joel had driven the Dalton Highway to the North Slope (Prudhoe Bay) several times before and he had crossed the Arctic Circle many times. He knew that there's not much out there to see but vast wilderness, he took me there anyways without any hesitations.
The Cost
- Cost to get there $78 for gas,
- $15 for snacks and coffee
- Experience and having Joel in my journey, Priceless!
Beautiful scenery and the gravel roads |
On our way out there, we saw a lot of hunter's trucks and trailers by the road. It's hunting season here in Alaska. We also passed several truckers.
If any of you have seen an Ice Road Truckers TV shows, boy! those guys have guts.. My hands and feet were sweating from being nervous on those roads and the road doesn't even have snow in it yet. I can't imagine being on that road in the winter.
Stops
- Just outside Fairbanks where Elliot highway starts, stop by Fox Spring to get natural cold water from the spring for the trip
- Few miles from Fox Spring is the Hilltop Restaurant and Marketplace. They have best pies and some snacks for the trip.
- Dalton Highway Sign - stop and capture a moment in time
- Yukon River - on the other side of the bridge, stop at Yukon Crossing Contact Station and on the other side Yukon River Camp, then head to the river to see the bridge from below
- Arctic Circle - the last stop for this trip
Scenic view of the road up to Arctic Circle |
After a long drive, this is it! Took pictures of the sign, roam around for a little bit, then drove back down to Fairbanks |
View of the pipeline in and out on the ground, up and down the hills, over the river, can be seen on our way up to Arctic Circle. |

China and Russia put the blame on some screwed up experiments of US for the earthquake that happened in Haiti.
ReplyDeleteChinese and Russian Military scientists, these reports say, are concurring with Canadian researcher, and former Asia-Pacific Bureau Chief of Forbes Magazine, Benjamin Fulford, who in a very disturbing video released from his Japanese offices to the American public, details how the United States attacked China by the firing of a 90 Million Volt Shockwave from the Americans High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program (HAARP) facilities in Alaska
If we can recollect a previous news when US blamed Russia for the earthquake in Georgio. What do you guys think? Is it really possible to create an earthquake by humans?
I came across this [url=http://universalages.com/hot-news/what-happened-in-haiti-is-it-related-to-haarp/]article about Haiti Earthquake[/url] in some blog it seems very interesting, but conspiracy theories have always been there.

Online guitar lessons are a great way to learn guitar. Cheaper and more convenient than private studio lessons, the technology is now at a point where the difference in quality is nonexistent and actually has many advantages.

The French gourmet cheese Bleu d'Auvergne has a wonderful aroma, a rich taste; the saltiness increases with the incidence of veining. The overall flavor is piquant but not overly sharp. Bleu d'Auvergne started life as an imitation of Roquefort, using cow's milk in place of sheep's milk. Legend has it that a peasant, around 1845, decided to inject his cheese with a blue mold that he found growing on his left-over bread (the motto being, waste not, want not). And thus, the gourmet cheese Bleu d'Auvergne was born. This French gourmet blue cheese comes from the region of Auvergne and the cheese is made from milk of Salers and Aubrac cows. The rind is very thin and so the cheese is usually wrapped in foil. The cheese is rich and creamy with a pale yellow color and scattered holes and well-defined greenish-blue veining. We cut and wrap this cheese in wedge of 8 ounces and 1 pound.

You must have seen Ranbir Kapoor’s wonderful chemistry with Katrina Kaif in Ajab Prem Ki Ghajab Kahani.
ReplyDeleteKatrina is really exited to romance Ranbir, obviously in reel life. Katrina is really eager to be a part of Ashtvinayak’s next film that casts Ranbir.
However she is well known to this fact that her looks as well as accent can not relate
