Raised by the collision of tectonic plates, sculpted by glaciers, snow, rain, and wind. Our path first traveled by animals and indigenous peoples then settlers, hardier than I, now leaving me in awe around every corner.
Great day of beautiful weather, beautiful scenery, an easy border crossing, moose along the road, but not in the road. Ended the day in Delta Junction the end of the AL-CAN Highway.
The road was built to move troops and supplies to Delta Junction for the war. The road from Delta Junction to Fairbanks had been completed in the 1910's but the railroad stopped at Dawson Creek. The road completed the 1442 miles between railroad and existing road.

Beautiful blue sky, no pollution! Amazing that there are almost 24 hrs of daylight. Lucky for those who found their paradise in this last frontier. Lucky to the six of you who will now experience a piece of this paradise...
