Today we drove from Valdez to Fairbanks, 364 miles. Because of road construction we had several delays. We were on the Richardson Highway the entire distance and saw some new parts that Connie and I had not been on before. The pipeline almost parallels the Richardson all the way to Fairbanks. The photo to the left is of the pipeline above ground and below it shows the pipeline going underground. Of the 800 miles, half is buried. The pipeline pumps 1.5 million barrels of oil each day.
We will be in Fairbanks for the next three days and will head to Denali on Friday.
