Year Four - Day Ninety-Three


Sam’s View
Today we drove to the Arctic Circle! We saw plants, burnt plants, dirt, mud, and rivers! It was awesome!!

 
Summer’s View
We drove up to see the Arctic Circle today – about 200 miles each way along a mostly narrow and muddy road – whew! Along the way, we stopped at a BLM Station and got some cool literature on the area. The pipeline ran alongside the road most of the way, and the fall colors are starting to show here!
It was very remote, with only a few trucks and semi’s for traffic, carrying a mud cloud around them as they passed. Our car is unrecognizable with the layer of dirt on it! J But, we made it to the Arctic Circle – woo hoo!


We also stopped for a couple of miles of hiking to a landmark called Finger Rock.


We were thinking we may have to stay overnight, but we made the drive in one day, arriving home to a happy Buster around 11:00 pm.
