    Default Arctic Circle Trip

    It's been a busy, busy summer. I've been without internet for a month but they finally got it fixed. Kennel sat out at the kennel for last week.

    Went to the Arctic Circle last weekend.

    Here are some of my pictures. You should be able to see them even if you are not on Facebook. Here is my favorites of the whole trip.

    The link isn't working. It might be a Facebook problem. It's currently not available. Facebook is fine as long as you don't have clickable links or are selling something.

    No Sir, I just clicked on the provided link and it came up. I am on Facebook though so I'm not sure about that part of it?

    I don't use F/B tp sign in here but I stay signed in there even if I am here so maybe that is what it is? Not much of a computer guy, every time I push a button and it works I'm thrilled!

    It's summer this week so all the snow and ice are gone for the moment. I think we'll be having a early winter though.

    Oh here, this link might work for those without FB.

    Either you are a midget's midget or that sign is very tall for a very sad reason. $5.19 a gallon? Jeepers. You're right next to the pipeline for cryin' out loud.

    Great pics! Someday I gotta take that road. I'd like to drive it up to Prudhoe Bay and back. The "and back" is real important.

    They get ALOT of snow up there. I remember my first winter in Denver, the cop cars have their lights on scissor lifts that raise them of the roof several feet so they can be seen over the snowbanks!

    I had a compass, but without a map, it's just a cool toy to show you where oceans and ice are.

    Yeah, one small town we were at some place north of Los Anchorage had over 400 inches the previous winter. I can't imagine what they get farther north on the Dalton.
