• Alyeska on the Richardson Highway

    When a pipeline stretches 800 miles — from one end of the state to the other — one is bound to encounter glimpses of it here and there.

    When we traveled the Dalton Highway in 2001 — from Fairbanks to Deadhorse on the Arctic Ocean — the Trans-Alaska Pipeline, aka the Alyeska Pipeline, was a constant companion. On our road trip this year, we’ve so far seen it on the Elliott and the Steese highways ... and today, on the Richardson Highway.

    I wonder how many more times we’ll be saying “look there’s the pipeline again.” After all, we still have a lot of miles to cover until we reach the pipeline terminus in Valdez.
