Monday, May 21-Airplanes, Wildlife, Up close look at pipeline

The camper shuddered this morning as an Air Force transport from Elmendorf AF Base flew over us to land at Fort Greely! There were 4 planes.

Our first up close look at the Alaska Pipeline. My 'guide' tells me the uprights are heat exchangers (radiators) because the pipeline is hot - over my head at this point.
