Another short vid I took on the Atigun Pass, on the Haul Road going from Coldfoot, to Prudhoe Bay Alaska.
Hanging out the window while shooting this literally snatched my breath away.
That part of the world is so remote, but hauntingly beautiful. I'd love to visit when the snow melts, but I doubt I'll ever make it up there again.

Lesley, if you shared driving for any part of that trip, you earned your "lazy" that you mentioned in the other thread.
Alaska is on my "bucketlist" of places to visit... not in the winter though. I would love to do one of those small boat cruises

Thought so. Reminder to self: next time SWMBO (she's on the fence about this whole "gearheadl" thing, but actually has nice control skills) successfully drives out of a tough situation, buy more ice cream.

Thank you. Coming from a woman who's not "on the fence", that means a lot.
