This is the third mountain, as seen across Willow Lake. This was taken very soon after the previous one.

and the fourth one. The names of these mountains is in a photo ahead about 14 photos.

And a notice in the lobby that we were celebrating our honeymoon. It was hard to focus in the dim light. Honest, I did not have the shakes.

We took a bus trip to a wilderness walk past the Alaskan Pipeline. This is a shaky photo taken from the bus.

Alaskan Pipeline. North of the Brooks Range, the pipeline is entirely above ground (except for short underground sections to allow reindeer to cross). The above ground construction was to avoid burying the pipe in permafrost which heaves and creeps as the seasonal temperatures change.

Map of the 800 mile pipeline. As an indication as to how huge Alaska is, we drove nearly all afternoon the previous day from Valdez at the bottom of the sign to get here.

48" diameter pipeline. On top of the posts are heat exchangers to dump heat to the atmosphere in the summer. As the permafrost below the pipeline warms, the liquid ammonia absorbs the heat from around each leg and vaporizes into an ammonia gas, which then rises to a radiator on top of each leg. When it reaches the top the radiator cools the amonnia gas and it condenses and falls back down the hollow leg and the cycle repeats itself.

Anhydrous amonia temperature compensation
Scan of pipeline passive heat exchangers showing design to allow for wide temperature variation of support, pipe, and passive heat control system of legs into permafrost ground (which may melt in summer so legs settle down into ground).
There are many old buildings built on top of the permafrost throughout Alaska and the Yukon that have
settled from the seasonal warming and freezing.

It's not easy being a photographer's assistant. A wind blown and cold Sharon holds up a photo our bus driver had showing the 4 large mountains of the Wangell Range, left to right, Mt. Drum (12010 feet), Mt. Sanford (16,237), Mt. Wrangell (14,163), and Mt. Blackburn (16,390).

Across Lake Willow was a plane and van between two houses (not in picture, about a few hundred yards in each direction).
