Learn much more about Alaska and the land of trees to Tundra with no trees. Check the wildlife as you learn about this part of the USA. See the oil fields there. Do you know that they ship that oil back to be refined and then brought back as fuel to the inhabitants and visitors? I almost decided not to watch this video but now I will say it is a very professional video. If you watch it, what surprised you? One thing surprising me was they live in a Bus and explore the area using Drones and the filming is wonderful.

 
Driving in Alaska is boring, and it usually takes 8+ hours to get to the next destination. And you can't get close enough to Denali (Mt. McKinley) to see it on most days.

I would love to drive that road.

That would bother me too. I believe Denali is far off the highway in this video.

Couldn't be any worse than driving across Kansas. Flat and long and 2 trees...
Husband and I actually considered moving to Alaska, but those long nights, I know I'd never be able to get that man out of bed. And if I did, he'd want me to hop into that ice water to suck up some gold. Sure is pretty though, and those northern lights are so beautiful.

I have driven across Kansas. It was ribbons of Highway 70, punctuated with offramps to tiny towns. My father spent time in Alaska and prior to my moms mother dying, they took a trip up the highway from CA to areas of Alaska i don't recall now. That grandmother of mine is in her grave about 2 miles from where I live.

High IQs Are Inhibited into Becoming Cash Cows for Corporate Cowboys

If Alaska had the population density of New Jersey, it would have 700 million people. If we started treating creative people better instead of making them social-rejects, cold-weather technology would make Alaska a comfortable place to live. The analogy is the increase in the population of the warmest states caused by whoever invented air-conditioning.
 
LOL, or NE, We crossed from Cheyenne, WY and I was surprised at the dearth of trees in the state that claims Arbor Day was founded there.
I too have driven across Wyoming but did not stop at Cheyenne. I was on my way from Denver to Yellowstone. At the time I was not really thinking so much about trees. But the trees in yellowstone are like twigs sticking up in the air compared to the Redwoods in CA.

There is a vast difference between lodge pole pine (Yellowstone) and Giant Redwoods. Redwoods are in turn dwarfed by Sequoias.

We agree but as to Sequoias they are not as tall as Redwoods. But have gigantic trunks.

Yet you want creative people to leave their children nothing at all.

Science Is for Suckers. You Preppyloving Peasants Don't Deserve Its Benefits.

If we have to do it on our own, so must the entitled Daddy-mooching brats. Most of their inherited money comes from the Grand Larceny of corporate patents anyway.

Based on what the employee-inventors cut was of the value of the product that he alone could have invented, this is the worst slavery in history. One inventor got one penny for every hundred dollars his Low IQ slaveowners got. The same raw deal was imposed on the inventor of Valium and the inventor of television.

Why are you so in love with Government?
 
LOL, I don't think a rally car would get you too far up that road, but however far it got you, it would get you there fast and I'm sure it would be a bundle of fun. You might like a Polaris RZR.
Nah, the Group B monsters are a particular favorite of mine. And they will take you a long way so long as you don't crash!
