Resting in Anchorage after the trip
Resting comfortably in a hotel in Anchorage, Alaska now, I thought I'd share a few pictures from the last day's travel before I get into house-hunting mode.
The first is of an incredible mountain range that I ran into.
Here's another picture from that same area:
Then there was a guided tour through the mountain roads:
Then there's the rubber roads that you have to drive on up here:
I asked a woman at the construction site why the roads are like this, and she said the problem was due to "frost heaving". I guess the ice and frost in the wintertime get in (or under) the road and cause these problems.
It certainly makes for fun driving, kinda keeping you awake. :) But I wouldn't want to be driving one of those RVs. They have to take the roads much slower than I did.
