today i have a few pictures for you to show what you can do during a three day layover in Anchorage.
this time the two of us got a nice car and startet driving north towards Fairbanks, where we used to stay until a few years ago at the lovely Sophie Station and for a rememberance of the old times booked a room for a night, actually the longest night of the year on December 21st and the night does not get much longer than in Fairbanks, which ist with 64˚N only 120 nautical miles south of the Polar Circle, where the night doesn't end at all.
the reward for all the driving on ice and snow and the emergency breaking for crossing Moose was a great time on the road and really nice views and pictures of the seemingly limitless population free nature.
1400km in two days, 450 pictures and great time to remember!
here you go:
the tour:
some moose on the road...
the big dipper in the clear night-sky pointing to the north star:
the small Gulkana Airport under the moonlight:
the beauty of the alaskan nature:
the alaskan way of life - keep the engines running, its too cold to shut them down...
