We made it to Toolik

[dmsparks]

What a long day! We left at 6:00AM and drove until 6:00PM. Along the way, I saw a moose, fed a squirrel, saw some mountain sheep, stopped at the Arctic Circle, and drove through some beautiful mountain ranges. God knew what he was doing when he created Alaska. It is so beautiful in the summer time. We are on the other side of the Brooks Range, which is much flatter and cooler. We also crossed the Yukon River and followed the Alaskan Pipeline up the Dalton Highway. It was long ride and quite bumpy because most of it is gravel. Check out the pictures and video I just added. Tomorrow, we drive up to Deadhorse, then take a tour of a BP Oil Refinery at Prudhoe Bay. We are the only tour they are giving this year. We will also get to see the Arctic Ocean! I will try to post as soon possible.
