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.


They were landing just across the road.

The one below was leaving.

Back to the wildlife and 3 caribou

They were all so kind and eventually all stood up though I got only fuzzy photos of one.

 

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.

This moose wanted to play hide and seek!
 
This moose didn't want to play at all.

Just pretty.


Rainbow Mountain

A fox.
 
A porcupine ran from us and climbed a tree!

This moose wasn't hanging around either!

We are parked for the night at another roadside pull out. Stopped early to work on photos, journals, etc
