Am 22. in Galbraith Lake hatte ich natuerlich die Mitternachtssonne verpasst! Wegen den usicheren Wetterverhaeltnissen, aber bei aufkommendem Sonnenschein und trockenen Bedingungen beschliesse ich die restliche Strecke von Galbraith bis Deadhorse durch die flache Tundragegend nicht mehr zu fahren. Ich kehre zurueck, geniesse nochmals das wundervolle Brooksgebirge gerade bevor sich wieder Gewitter aufbaut und lerne sogar noch den Truckie Dale Fett kennen, der auf dem Atigun Pass fuer eine kurze Plauderei seinen Truck anhielt. Er ist einer von vielen Trucker die zwischen Prudhoe Bay und Fairbanks hin und her fahren und gehoert seit 1977 zu einer der ersten, seit der Dalton Highway eroeffnet wurde.

Die ganze Strecke bis nach Livengood zurueck gefahren wurde ich von zahlreichen Gewittern verschont und nach einer Nacht im Busch habe ich in Fairbanks endlich das Tourist Office mit seinem Gratis Internet gefunden und noch ein paar Erledigungen machen koennen. Anschliessend habe ich mich zum niedlichen und charmanten Doerfchen Nenana hingezogen gefuehlt und mich dort im unglaublich guenstigen und sehr huebschen Caravan Park niedergelassen, um meine versaeumte Sunday session nach zu holen.

XXXXX

In Galbraith Lake I missed the midnight sun of course, because of the thunderstorm! At the 22nd I decided at dry and sunny conditions to skip the part from Galbraith to Deadhorse across the flat tundra area due to the unpredictable weather condtions. I return back to enjoy once again the magnificent Brooks Range just before developing new thunderstrorms and even got to know the Truck Driver Dale Fett at the top of the Atigun Pass, who decided to interrupt his drive for a small talk with me. He's one of many trucks driving betweend Prudhoe Bau to Fairbanks and since 1977 he belongs to one of the pioneers since the Dalton Highway was opened to traffic.

I drove the whole road back to Livengood and was even spared from some thunderstorms. After a night in the bush I found finally the Tourist Information Centre in Fairbanks with its free Internet and could to some work. Afterwards I drove on felt attracted by the charming village of Nenana and stayed at the really cheap but nice RV Caravan Park, to catch up my missed Sunday Session.
