Catch the trade winds in your sails.
Explore. Dream. Discover.”
-Mark Twain

Todd was equally excited to begin this much talked about section of road named the Dalton Highway or more adequately described as the “Haul Road” by the truckers and those who use it as a corridor to the outside world. My flight from Maui to DH was a smooth and pleasant one; everyone at Alaska Airlines was super helpful. It was early June and the snow was still lingering. Looking out the window as we made our final approach I could see ribbons of water flowing everywhere, icy ponds and snow covered tundra in some places. The forecast for today June 11th called for rain and a strong easterly winds, but as we stepped off the plane onto the tarmac the bright warm sun beamed, the rush of 38 degree Arctic air hit my face, filled my lungs and stung my sock less toes…
