Default Iceberg dead ahead!

Here is something you don't see every day. An S2000 with a piece of a glacier floating behind it. I am not a pro photographer but I thought this would be interesting. It is from my recent trip from Fairbanks to Seward, AK with a stop in Whittier to go through the 2nd longest tunnel in North America. Here are some pictures.
I was very impressed with the drive from Anchorage to Seward. Alaska does have 1 nice smooth twisty road and I finally found it, It just so happens to be surrounded by mountains, waterfalls, and glaciers too which makes it the best scenic drive I've been on in my life.






The tunnel in Whittier, AK is very interesting. It is one lane and shared with trains so you have to drive damn near on the train track rails through. It is more like riding a mine cart through a mountain in than driving (S2K). It was built in WW2 and is 2.5 miles long. It leads to what was supposed to be a secret deep water bay port for Navy ships. Traffic direction changes every half hour and is sometimes interupted by trains going through.

That has got to be one of the best places on Earth to drive an S2000.

Very nice. Several years ago, I did a cruise from BC, Canada to Alaska. We stopped at many ports, one of which was near there. Loved the scenery, but yes...a lot of rain.
