I saw Denali three times from the air on two round trip flights in 1995 from
Anchorage, AK to Prudhoe Bay, Ak (was in Prudhoe Bay doing Oil Well
corrosion testing in the North Slope Oilfields). It is an awsome sight from
33,000 ft. You see the summit and the glaciers as they flow down from the
mountain like rivers. I took a flightseeing trip up to about 12,000 ft in
July of 1996 in a Cessna 76, 6 passenger. It was a great trip, but the
weather kept the pilot below clouds so we didn't get to see the summit. This
vacation trip included a two day trip up the Dalton Highway (Alaska Pipeline
Haul Road from Fairbanks to Prudhoe Bay, a 475 mile trip via gravel road.
No, I didn't drive it, we went with a tour in two 10 passenger vans. A great
trip which included a return flight from Prudhoe Bay to Point Barrow
(northern most point in North America) back to Fairbanks. Alaska is a great
state to see, one the I would love to go back to for geocaching. How about a
geocache that could only be reached by float plane.
Just checked Buxley's Geocaching Waypoint web site, as of today there are
137 caches in Alaska. Several places that I visited in the Alaska road trip
in 1996: GC94D4 Artic Circle crossing via the Pipeline haul road; GC8302
Prudhoe Bay Postoffice (Zipcode 99734) and General Store (visited this store
many time during the oil field trips of 1995); GC6341Willey Post - Will
Rodgers Memorial Monument in Barrow; GCEA2E in Homer, Alaska; GCD1CP near
Dawson City, Yukon Territory, Canada; GC7EAE near Beautiful "Downtown"
Chicken, Alaska. (can anyone tell me why this town was named Chicken). Ther
are many more that are on the route we took but these are some of my
favorite stops on that trip. Too bad geocaching didn't exist then. Well just
a good excuse to go back.
