deadhorse

Here's a very typical view of the pipeline that runs along the Dalton Highway. This picture was taken in mid-August, 2007. Not too cold by day, but Deadhorse was below freezing the following morning.

Here's a picture of the main entrance to the Caribou Inn in Deadhorse / Prudhoe Bay. It's basically a tin/metal building. The rooms are separated by thin walls, and it was the dirtiest hotel I've stayed at in a very long time, with stains on the carpeting and the lumpiest "bed" I've ever slept on. But by the time I got there I was just glad to have a place to stay.

Here's a picture of my RAV-4, driving the Dalton Highway on the way up to Deadhorse (Prudhoe Bay). If you're going to take your own vehicle, you need to be prepared.
