Flew into Prudhoe Bay airport this morning.
It was 40F (5C) but sun was almost poking through and roads were dry. This entire area has a sense of industrial work zone to it with large dirty trucks and buildings constructed from bolted together prefabricated components. A typical schedule for workers is three on (every single day) followed by three off (and flight back). The Aurora caters mostly to various oil field workers but does a space available for tourists. Outside each parking spot has a dangling cord to plug in your block heater during cold months. There aren’t independent restaurants here, instead the hotels have cafeterias included with prices.

I parked my bike inside in foyer as weather forecast is for rain/snow overnight. However after tomorrow looks to improve. Otherwise walked over to the general store/post office to pick up an isobutane canister which I had sent general delivery. Here I was told standard procedure was to call and ask for an address and that I was lucky it hadn’t been sent back. My stove can also burn gasoline but I like isobutane since it burns cleaner.
