Did I forget to mention we drove the Dalton Highway just like the Ice Road Truckers, minus the ice! It is a gravel road and very narrow. Along the way there was a 'resort' made from abandon truck containers. We stopped and the only person there was the owner, a nice looking lady around 35 years old. We asked her if she was afraid being alone so far out and that is when she showed us her arsenal of guns located about the property! They were all pink and she let me test out a couple! The restroom was an experience. It was an old freezer truck that hung over a mountain and contained a toilet seat and if you were to fall through you would go down forever! She told me to take a gun because bears were out there, but when I closed the door I would be safe. Fastest trip I've ever made! She had a grill where she cooked us burgers and we sat and talked.
