End of the Alaska Highway and First Sighting of the Alaska Pipeline

End of one Highway, but early in the trip. Being all in Alaska, the Highways all have names, as they can't be numbered Interstates. I'll name others as we travel onward.



Visiting the Visitors Centers is always interesting and informative.


Description of the Alaska Highway. It really was an impossible road to build. We enjoyed several museums and movies about the building of it.


This is Delta Junction's end marker for the Alaska Highway. Remember the one in Dawson Creek?


This is a typical cabin built by the first homesteaders. Note the grass roof.


There are really HUGE mosquitos up here.


What is this???


From Delta Junction to Fairbanks we will follow the Alyeska Pipeline. Here is how some of it has increased in size.


This describes the cleaning of the pipeline.



This is one of the types of "pigs" that cleans it.


Our first sighting of the pipeline over a river.
