Alaskan HighwayA Collection of Photos from along the Highway

The Start of the Alaskan Highway

Day One ... Cold and Snow!!!( Six hours later, sun and blue skies for the next 10 days)

The Highway is an Historical Site(with museums and historical collections along the way)

Toad River Hat Collection(there are over 6500 hats stapled to the ceiling of this lodge)

Some Excitement in the Campsite(no one was hurt but several ATV’s and a storage building were destroyed)

Liard, BC Hot Springs(natural springs, very hot in places, sulphur smell, but very relaxing)

Watson Lake Sign Post Forest(largest public collection of stolen property ....nearly 7000 signs)

Odds and Sods and Socks(churches, bars, and mountains were prominent along the highway)

Another “Un-protected Border”(look closely, and see that the border line goes on forever)

Alaska Pipeline Pumping Station(wall cleaning “scraper pigs” move through the 4’ pipe at 6 miles per hour)

Valdez, Alaska(a fishing town, surrounded by mountains and water, plus the oil shipping port)

Hand Powered Lifeboat(used in the rescue of over 500 people from a sinking cruise ship in the Gulf of Alaska)

Don’t Mess With Alaskans(they will track you down and ........???)

My first Camera ...a “Brownie”(still takes good pictures, eh!)

Thanks for looking at the picsI have done a separate collection for the animals we saw along the highway and another collection for the beautiful scenery along the highway
