| A small section of the Alaska Pipeline |
ORMOND BEACH, FL - - Nearly 13 years ago (Aug.1, 2007) on one of our Denali NP days-off forays, Lydia and I found an above ground section of the Alaska Pipeline. The pipeline pumps crude oil, from Prudhoe Bay to Valdez, AK in an 800 mile tech marvel above and below ground. It began operation in the summer of 1977 after a two year construction exercise in battling mosquitos and melting perma-frost in the summer and severe freezing temps, wind and snow in the winter.
