  • Sean (KL5NE) Doug (KL7DUG) and myself drove north and rode snow machines out to a never activated park, Minto Flats K-9700. We camped there over the weekend in -16 degree weather. The first day was a little slow but made up for it the next morning. Follow along on our journey! Thanks for watching, 73

    into Anchorage on USAF KC-135's and hope to go back one more time with
    my XYL'. On the second trip I rode the Alaska RR to Fairbanks and back to
    visit friends at Eielson AFB. Keep up posting these great videos.

    Love it, Jeramy! Especially the authentic Alaska stuff. You might throw in some time stamps when it’s twilight in the middle of the day. That would add more Alaska flavor. Otherwise us normies might just assume it’s evening. Can’t wait to see what else you’re doing!
