Fairbanks is still treating me good. Still cloudy, so no good long distance shots, but still some pretty awesome things to share. Below is a picture of me standing beside the Trans-Alaska Pipeline. Its pretty inspiring to stand next to a point that nearly 700 BILLION gallons of crude oil has passed. Maybe that does not impress many, but 700,000,000,000 has a lot of zeros.
Below is only a small section of the nearly 800 mile long, 4 feet in diameter pipeline (that's ~400 million gallons moving through the pipeline at any given time).
Even neater, below is a picture of the "Lady of the Lake", a B-29 from World War II that somehow ended up in a small pond near
Eielson Air Force Base.
