Half-Baked Alaska, No. 2

Back in the days of the big pipeline construction (mid-1970s), there was a bumper sticker that read:  "We don't care HOW they do it Outside."   In Alaska, we do it our way.

We also don't have rest area waysides like the Interstates Outside.   No long access to a large parking area; no long exit back onto the Interstates.   Ours are more direct.  There's a warning sign and a short access.  Period.   To get back on the highway, you use the same access.

Which means you can always spot a tourist:






I took this photo in Silvertip where a bike path is adjacent to the highway for several miles.  The motorhome backed out of a parking spot close to where I'm standing, then drove onto the bike path before climbing a small embankment onto the highway.
