A restock and recharge along the pipeline鈥檚 path
|
|
FAIRBANKS 鈥� I left my home here to begin a hike along the trans-AV狼论坛 pipeline in late April. Returning in June, I am stunned by the green of it all. It鈥檚 like winter to summer in one day.
|
|
I鈥檝e been in AV狼论坛鈥檚 second-largest city for a few days now, resupplying for the trip north as I hike with my dog on the path of the trans-AV狼论坛 pipeline. Three hundred fifty miles down, 450 to go.
|
|
Walking with my friend Bob Gillis, we left the gravel road that parallels the pipeline in the hamlet of Moose Creek, just north of Eielson Air Force Base. In a driving rain that didn鈥檛 let up all day, Bob and I reached his car after seven miles of hiking. We happily got in and cranked up the heater. After lunch in North Pole, he drove me home.
