Pictures from Alaska

[DXman]

This past winter (Feb-March) I did a lot talking to several truck drivers on ch 19. They were running the Dalton Hway from Fairbanks to Prudhoe Bay.

One of Drivers sent me several pic's from his iphone 4 and so I thought I would share a few of them.

Real ice road truckers. The third photo is stunning, wonderful country up there.

Awesome! Beautiful country.

I would drive anywhere up there, except on frozen lakes and rivers. Dudes got big balls or just plain crazy.

They do it because of the money!

One day I hooked up with a ham op, which he was from the southern part of Washington, he was up there driving to make the big bucks. He said it was "tough", but the money was good!

Be cool if they had a Go Pro Camera mounted on the front. I'd sit back in my recliner and watch that.
