We got up at 4:45 and started to get ready, we left and got to the excursion place at 5:45, after dropping the dogs at our friends’ work place.
We started about 15 minutes early on our ride to the Arctic Circle.
Our first stop was at Joy. Next stop was at the Yukon River crossing for Lunch
We stopped along the pipeline and we took some picture by it.
We stopped at a location called Thumbs Up and explored around the rocks.
We then finally made it to the Arctic Circle. We all took pictures. The guide (Mary) put down a rug to mark the line for the Arctic Circle and we all walked across it. Mary even gave all of us some cake and whipped cream (she called it something like muck and frost)
On the way back, from the Circle Mary found a place so she could show us the Tundra and the Perma Frost.
When we were about ready to get dinner, a car that passed us broke one of the back windows in the bus. Mary got a piece of cardboard and covered the window and I helped her tape the outside up.
We then ate dinner at the same location as lunch at the Yukon River crossing.
We then again stopped at Joy for another break
At different times Mary would show a video of different aspects of Alaska, Pipeline, and road building.
At the end of the trip we all got a certificate that we crossed the Arctic Circle.
We picked up the dogs and got back to the RV at 11:30
