We left the campgound and went down the hill to the Arctic Circle sign (1/4 mile). No one was there so we got some good photos. Finally another group came in and we took their photo while they took a few for us. |
 |
We headed out to Coldfoot (about 50 miles) to get fuel. The Arctic Interagency Vistor Center there is very good. You could easily spend several hours here and learn much about solstice and the area. |
 |
Coldfoot does have ultra low sulphur diesel but a big sign on the highway leading north, warned there may not be any ultra low-suphur diesel fuel ahead.We had a beer in the most Northern bar in America and contemplated going futher north to the continental divide or a couple of campgrounds further where someone had seen a herd of caribou. |
 |
We reluctently decided to turn south, in effect now heading for home.We drove south several miles past the Arctic Circle and camped off the road at a spot with a great view. |
|
The colors had started to change. Not many reds, only a few low bushes near creeks but lots of orange from the Aspen trees. The orange against the deep green of the Spruce is quite beautiful. |
