Looks like fun times! I've only backpacked up there & hope to take a vehicle someday.
How's the trip with the trailer? We have a similarly sized trailer (Manley) and I'm wondering about your experience. Cheers

Very cool trip! I'd be interested in hearing about your trailer, also. I will be building a M101 for my FJ55 and wondering about long distance pulling. You must be having a great time.

Good travels,

Did the Dalton Highway (Haul Road) today, just ran up to the Arctic Circle and back to Fairbanks.

we watch a big haul go by, found out it was a boat, used by the oil companies. The hauler escort said they haul 8 a year up and back to Valdez, they weight of boat & trailer is around 400K. The load is so heavy that helper trucks are needed.

Left Fairbanks this morning to headed to Denali, really wet day. at Denali it was hard to see anything, except a Moose & her calf
we drove through so much rain today, that maybe I should of skip the car wash yesterday
