My dad, who I mentioned earlier worked up in Alaska a few weeks at a time, worked up at Deadhorse (which I thought was just the name of the Alaska Airlines base for planes that needed serious work) outside of Prudhoe Bay. I've ridden in a van on that road in the spring months - I think it was March or April, and it was all white, for as far as the eye could see.
