Working on Pumpstation 3 about 100 miles south of Prudhoe Bay (Top O' Alaska). I'm an electrician, but photographer at heart....

I've made a number of trips up to Prudoe back in the early 80"s. One of the best site's I saw was on top of the Brook's Range, befor you start down to the tundra. Used to be sheep all over the place. Never saw a muskox but the biggest moose of my life was up in there. Wish I'd had a decent camera back then.

It's a beautiful world up there. I think everyone should see it at least once, especially the tundra! You'll never again see so many caribou and ptarimigan in one place.

When you come out, if you drive, you should stop at Kulane (clu-wa-nee) Lake at "Sheep Mt". They now have a viewing center there with telescopes you can wahct the sheep. Or if you want, you can climb up with them. Kluane is in the Yukon.

Once I get back to my own computer, I'll post a couple photos from this past spring.

My grandson's computer and I just noticed that I needed to log in!

CoopersDesign, you mentioned a couple times that you got a new camera. What did you get? The biggest mistake I made when I lived up there was not having a good camera.
