Fox Pup's AK Vacation - Day 6: Time To Head South Again

As we left our latest temporary home, we drove north to the town of Fox so we could see the Alaska Pipeline.  We got there just ahead of 4 tour buses full of people… good timing!  It was neat to see the pipeline and learn a little about how it contains “pigs” that help the oil flow through the pipe.  From there, we headed south through North Pole (which screams tourist trap with everything set up like Santa’s village!) and on toward Glennallen.  We got to see a couple bald eagles, some more magpie, and even a few snowshoe hare.  It was another beautiful drive with lots of views of golden birch trees. 

 



Our lodging for tonight is right on Lake Louise, which is about 30 miles west of the town of Glennallen.  It’s a pretty lake!  We’re in a “rustic cabin”… I was actually excited to find out there is electricity and heat in our cabin!  One of the beds lacks some support (to say the least), but it’s great to have a roof over our heads for the night! :)
