    Those pipes are called "utilidors". They are used for ventilation of different utilities... like, communications cables, gas lines and there's also got water pipes running before to help businesses for heating. All these utilities are routed above the permafrost.

    Sadly the original Masonic Temple burnt down a number of years ago. I grew up there in Fairbanks and North Pole. I also used to go to that Masonic Temple for DeMolay, which is a Masonic youth fraternity. I miss my home town after watching this video, it’s been about 8 years since I’ve been home.

  • @patricescattolin43
    @patricescattolin43 9 місяців тому

    I recommend you try your hand at winter and snow somewhere warmer than Alaska first. Temps below freezing are very dangerous if you are I'll prepared and Alaska should be about as harsh as it gets. They haven't had heater blocks in populated areas of eastern Canada for a while but that they still have them on the street in Alaska speak volume. Not to mention driving in snow to say nothing of towing on icy roads. Because tractor trailer operate year around in Canada, it's totally doable but it's a skill that needs to be learned.
    If Winnibago has winterised trailers, that would be a good choice for the next Minitini for a winter trip upstate NY (Lake Placid) or ski resorts in Vermont or Colorado. That would be a good start and open all sorts of new trips and stories which I think would make for nice videos.
    There definitely is a reason you hear of snowbirds but never of northern flamingos.
    Note: when chasing leaves in Vermont you hit yourself against tourist industry closed for the season. You would run into more of this in snowy winter lands.

    • @TravelingRobert
      @TravelingRobert  9 місяців тому +2

      It came with solid steps that took too much room, were heavy, and needed to be readjusted every time. We found this solution to be more practical for the trip ahead..... and it was
