Creamer's Field - there are great hiking trails next to the actual field

our daily visitor

Creamer's Field - a former farm is now a landing and resting place for the traveling cranes and geese

there they fly....

in the Ice Museum

on the Dalton Highway north - it's still asphalt with big holes

always to the north - approx. 1,000 km

Prudhoe Bay - Hotel Aurora - actually a dormitory for the workers with full board - we can really recommend it

Luis has landed

it is really small compared to the vehicles used here

All water for the hotel is delivered and stored here

Aurora Hotel - Men's camp - Accommodation for many workers during their shift of approx. 2 weeks

We felt very comfortable and the price is reasonable

Even though the oil is so close, the diesel costs a lot of money and everything has to be delivered

our first caribou

the colors are simply indescribable

Completely new to me, this area is a desert from a weather perspective, it hardly rains, the winters are dry and very cold

good beer and

enjoy your meal

works even in the smallest of spaces

The public campsites are very good, simple but everything you need is there

short but violent, the vegetation in the north

Back, washing was necessary first

back at our campsite

the cranes are also back

There is a really excellent car museum in Fairbanks https://www.fountainheadmuseum.com/ (only vehicles up to the end of the 30s), including a historical exhibition about the development of mobility and! about clothing of the time - just take a look

Northern lights

simply indescribable

the mountain that gives the national park its name, Denali (also known as Mount McKinley)

Normally it is covered in clouds, but it is only supposed to appear like this on around 60 days

a little hike

but unfortunately you are not alone here

By bike you can bypass all the barriers and controls and get much further into the park than by car

but it's already cold

on the Denali Highway - the way from Denali National Park to Paxson, a wild road with indescribable panoramas

but also a popular area for hunters, so we didn't feel like hiking

our elk meat menu

it tasted excellent

We met Richard and Michelle along the way and had many exciting conversations. We look forward to seeing you again

Visit the Alpin Creek Lodge, here you will be spoiled with food and alpine flair, an absolute recommendation

Unfortunately we didn't have that much time, but it makes sense to come back

the perfectly equipped Richard, always with the right tire pressure!

You can see again how small our Luis is

After long journeys our home is ready for a lovely evening

These blue potatoes are amazing, they taste really good

Musk Osk is actually a goat. The wool is very warm and is combed out of the animals. This is the only farm. The animals usually live in the far north.

Our campsite was right next to the tracks and repair work was kindly carried out at night...

Very tasty restaurant in Anchorage, I had my first king crab - delicious!

An exciting museum in Anchorage, with very modern items dealing with the history and culture of Alaska.

Cabela's is a shopping chain that has everything for the outdoors - fishing, hunting, boats, hiking and everything else - it's just huge!

One encounters early Russian culture and history on every path

adventurous roads to the end of the world, or rather to the end of the bay, it's really lonely here

and nature always impresses and overwhelms

and these evenings, but the northern lights remained hidden

Homer on the Kenai Peninsula - a beautiful place in Alaska, a vacation spot for many from Anchorage, especially the Spit (the headland into the bay) is very beautiful

Fishing is a must here for those who can

The facilities for processing are available everywhere, provided by the community

and here too people have a taste for good cars, the lady from the tourist office came from California and she brought her yellow Corvette with her.
