Alaska, March 2022
In addition to the northern lights, Kathleen Yengst and I experienced the thrill of a midnight dog mush; swam in the 106-degree Chena Hot Springs; hiked two miles to stand inside the Castner Glacier ice cave; visited Santa Claus at North Pole (not the North Pole), and embarked on an 18-hour excursion along the Dalton Highway, which included stops at the Enchanted Forest, the Yukon River, the Trans-Alaska Pipeline, and the Arctic Circle.
Dalton Highway is a 414-mile gravel road that parallels the Trans-Alaska Pipeline and was made famous by the History Channel show, “Ice Road Trucker.” It was built in from 1969 to 1974 to supply the construction of the pipeline.
