Alaska's Pipeline... 8th World Wonder?
I went to a muserm early this morning. I will post a photograph of a cross section of the Alaska Pipeline as soon as I get back home. I have just about given up on getting any of my photos in until I get home... I was amazed at how difficult it was to build this pipeline over the tundra. And the workers faced many difficulties. This is a great example of how we can do just about anything when we put our minds to it. The other photo you can't see shows an old Ketchup bottle (I love antiques!) that contains a sample of the first oil discovered in northern Alaska. There is no question, oil has been an important part of Alaska's past and future.
