\"\"In this episode we travel to America’s northernmost and most isolated road: the James Dalton Highway in northern Alaska.<\/p>\n

I come to you from the comfort of my car, parked at my workplace parking lot. I try to take advantage of my downtime to record the podcast, as when I get home in the evening I am tired and life sometimes gets in the way.<\/p>\n

The James Dalton Highway in Alaska<\/h5>\n

The main theme of this episode is a road trip we made on America’s northernmost road. Although it is not ideal for a big rig, I know of people who have done part\u00a0of it towing a large 5th wheel. We also saw our share of class C, trailers, and camper vans.<\/p>\n

I am not going to go into every detail of the trip on this post. Also I didn’t have time to cover the whole road trip in this episode. I will have a part two for sure. Here we are only going to cover Fairbanks and the trip from there to the halfway point: Coldfoot. In part two we are going to go fro Coldfoot all the way to the Arctic Ocean, so stay tuned for that.<\/p>\n

Next, I am going to post some very useful links that I used to plan this trip, and some pictures of our epic journey in Alaska.<\/p>\n
