So finally a three day weekend and a trip. A two in one kind of road trip. One a Road Trip to McCarthy (750 miles in four days) and two the McCarthy Road itself, it a trip worth taking. That is if you like driving on a road placed on a railroad track bed that is 60 miles long and can take as long as 5 hours to drive. But there also my friends who live off the McCarthy road, with a 1.6 mile long drive-way that takes 30 minutes to drive (two beers and a cigar). all in all. A ROAD TRIP!!!

starting from my friends place..

my friend place that I stay at in the winter

Well fortunately I got off work early on Thursday, guess it's good to be the boss.  Off at noon on the road at two.  But it's hard to leave a cool place like where I stay.  Since I haven't posted anything yet, I'll do it now.  I stay with a friend who is a retired laborer, he was one of the first hired on the Trans-Alaska Pipeline, back when they built it.  He built three houses.  The first two taken by ex-wives and the third, this nice little log cabin.  I house sit for him in fall when he goes bird hunting in South Dakota, I basically can't wait to get home and kick back at the place. 

As for the ride first day drive, well.  Well, suprisingly it didn't take me long to get into road trip mode.  Usually I need a good four or five hours on the asphalt to get the mind free to roam along with passing scenery.  Of course two hours into the trip I had to stop at the Food Cache in Delta for an order of gizzards (mmm).    I wasn't planning on taking alot of pics on the way down, cause I had a long haul and wanted to get to my friends place before it got too late.  But there was one or two I couldn't pass up....
