I’ve been on our site out of Prudhoe Bay.
That’s me on our Ice Road about 2-3 miles out in the Arctic Ocean.

The solid soft lead bullet is undoubtably the best and most satisfactory expanding bullet that has ever been designed. It invariably mushrooms perfectly, and never breaks up. With the metal base that is essential for velocities of 2000 f.s. and upwards to protect the naked base, these metal-based soft lead bullets are splendid.

Forget everything you know about loading jacketed bullets. This is a whole new ball game!

I don't see any targets set up. What gives?
I don't think he would want to be caught with a gun on the field at all, at least not if he ever thinks he wants to come back. lol
I have a friend that got lost in a blow on an ice road a few years ago, I don't remember if he was heading to Alpine or point Thompson, he finally just shut it down and went to bed, till after the sun came up the next morning. He could see something so drove over to see what it was. He has a picture of his truck sitting there next to a sign, saying that you are interring international waters. lol

I've watched these Ice Truckers on TV programs hauling heavy oil rig equipment across that stretch, seen them bust through, some got help others lost rigs! The wife and I just look at each other and shake our heads in disbelief. It must take 'nads' the size of cantaloupe to do that job...
If you see one of them walking across the ice looking bowlegged...he's prolly an Ice Trucker...if you get my drift.

It is rare,rare,rare and did I say rare that anyone busts through any Ice road at Prudhoe, maybe some podunct ice road across a river or creek or something that is not monitored or maintained.
That road is deigned to handle 250,000 lbs. It cost 5.5 million to build and is only just over three miles long going out to our island, Spy Island.

Did you bring your new bike up there?
There is no difference between communism and socialism, except in the means of achieving the same ultimate end: communism proposes to enslave men by force, socialism—by vote. It is merely the difference between murder and suicide. Ayn Rand
Riding bikes to Prudhoe is a big thing in the summer, But believe it or not I met one a few years ago in Febuary. I had heard snippets about him and the temp being 29 below at Prudhoe when he left on the radio. I met him at Galbreth and the temps were up to 9 below, but there was a blow going on and visibility was probably less than 50 feet.
Yeah, like most stuff in the movies. It usually has nothing to do with reality.
I’m now sitting at the airport in Anchorage waiting on a flight that won’t leave until late this evening. Dang, I wish I had booked an earlier flight out of here. I won’t get back to Houston until tomorrow afternoon.

A few years ago I picked up a college kid from London, hitch hiking to Prudhoe. It was late at night and I picked him up about atigun camp, where he said he had walked out to the river to camp, but there was a lot of bear sign, so he decided to just try and get another ride. He told me the Ice Road Truckers show was big in England and ask if I had ever driven on it. lol I told him that we were on it, this is what it looks like in the summer time, but then he said, no I am talking about the ice road, again I explained to him, he was on what the show called the ice road, that those guys didn't actually get to drive on the real ice roads. lol
We got to deadhorse at around 4 in the morning and I switched trailers, ask him where he wanted dropped off at, and he ask where was anything to see or do, I told him you have already seen and done it, anywhere would do, but you can get coffee at one of the camps, and breakfast in an hour or two.
He ask where I was headed, and I said back to fairbanks, but will sleep a while at coldfoot, so he just rode back to coldfoot with me.
SIR , That's all nice, BUT WHAT DO YOU DO WHEN YOU HAVE TO...... well POO..? I am trying to be real careful and NOT get in trouble with the board sensors AW GIN..!!
