ALASKA AT EIGHTY - DAY 2 UCC NORTH TO SOUTH 2025

July 20th, DAY 2 UCC

Left Coldfoot early to miss the rain forecast for that afternoon. So far I have had a dry ride.

The familiar pipeline leading the way, but notice the leaves bending to the wind.

Don't see any traffic coming my way. When you do it looks like this. When you have more than one vehicle coming your way, it means there is road construction ahead with a flagger to control the one way traffic.

The big dust clouds are the big trucks.

Notice how they slowed down for me.

What the Haul Road rest area looks like...

Crossed the Arctic Circle once more.

At the Yukon River bridge, caught a different point of view of the crossing.

The road can be rough with whoops and potholes, pavement breaks and more, but a saying my wife suggested would be important for this ride. It is in my face every mile of the way. It's not a race, it's an endurance test.

And, finally am off the Dalton Highway.

That ends DAY 2 UCC
