I am finally getting the chance to sit down and do a little write up on my Alaskan caribou hunt. First off it was one of the most amazing trips I have ever been on in my life and gonna be very hard to beat I think.
We arrived on the 8th of Sept. in Fairbanks after a very long flight from Virginia. We were so tired we decided to grab a bite to eat and a room for the night instead of hitting the 8 hour trip up the Dalton Hwy. besides we wanted to take in all the sights during daylight hours. We got a good nights rest and awoke around 4am hitting the highway northbound. After driving an hour outside of Fairbanks I learned real quick you could make some good time on the haul road but it was kinda like a Dukes of Hazard episode if you did and I also learned that the moose are very big and slow and 70mph was too fast! Guess I just wanted to get north to see some bou quickly.
After driving for around four hours and seeing some of the most amazing sights known to mankind we stopped at Coldfoot for some breakfast around mid morning. I have to say it was pretty darn good grub to be in the middle of nowhere basically. Coldfoot was a really neat place. We then ate real good knowing this was gonna be our last good meal for maybe a week or so and hit the road again heading to Antigun Pass and the snowy brooks range. Here is a pic of the pass and how it appeared when we started up it.
