Woke up to a pipeline crew taking over our rest stop, they had some cool looking air boats. Not sure what they were going to do with them. Lots of construction delays on our way to Valdez, so it took over 3hrs to travel the 120 miles. Our first stop is the Alyesca pipeline – […]

Almost made it worth the lack of sleep. It was a long drive to Steward BC, thru the torrential downpour and numerous road construction, but once […]
