My Journey to ALASKA

[Fez_uk]

keep going

 

[(RIP) rustygates]

We drove back to Fairbanks and flew down to Anchorage and hired an RV and then drove to Talkeetna airstrip where we flew around Mt Mcinley the highest mountain in North America 20,000 ft

 

[(RIP) rustygates]

This was some Mountain and Glaciers

 

[(RIP) rustygates]

It's quite rare to see the summit as it's normally in the cloud

yes very interesting, and what's more later when I get a little vague about it I can come back to it and see it all again, important when your memory is beginning to get dim, I have all my old European truck cine and stills on a disc some place, all I need to do is remember where it is, the only good point is I know it is here somewhere, as long as I can find it before optical disks become old hat, SO YES PLEASE KEEP IT GOING, Rick

Amazing and very moving story, thank you for sharing this with us..

I could talk about this story for weeks, but would probably get boring to some, and there are more important issues on a Nissan Terrano-Maverick site,like "how can i remove this fly off my windscreen".lol but if you want me to carry on, i will, the next installment is from Fairbanks to Dawson

It's a refreshing change and very interesting, keep it up:clap:clap:clap

Next day I drove the RV from MT McInley along the Glennalan Highway to Wasilla were Sarah Palin was governor.

 

[(RIP) rustygates]

That was a Musk Ox and they are not very big.

Then i spotted a Nissan X terra

 

[(RIP) rustygates]

Onwards towards Tok passing Matnuska Glacier,this was the most beautiful scenery ever

 

[(RIP) rustygates]

Came across this pickup in need of a weld or two and maybe a spot of filler

 

[(RIP) rustygates]

This straight must have gone for about 8mls and at the end of it was Mount Drum 16000 ft

 

[(RIP) rustygates]

And sometimes you would be on tarmac doing 50mph and for no reason next thing you are driving on gravel at 30mph

So that's what Sarah Palin looks like, she's a bit of a moose:lol:lol:lol:lol

 

[(RIP) rustygates]

Arrived in TOK which is a major road junction Fairbanks-Canada-Anchorage

 

[(RIP) rustygates]

Stopped at a truck-stop for fish&chips it was the best i've had in months and we filled up with petrol

 

[(RIP) rustygates]

You could not hide this RV anywhere.but it had everything we needed

 

[(RIP) rustygates]

Tok was a great place to go truck and RV spotting
