These photos are from when Jack was stuck at the road closure.  He was waiting there 3 days to get unloaded.  As you can see, it was a beautiful couple of days, albeit cold ones.  The rigs in the distance are tractor-like vehicles on tracks with tanks to take the fuel Jack and the other truckers are hauling back to Prudhoe.  The road is now open during the day.  Click on the first and scroll to the right.  More info on the captions.

Jack finds a high perch to get a better view of the offloading up ahead.

He said this photo was an accident but I thought it was interesting since it shows what he was standing on.

Jack took a panoramic shot which makes it look like the road is curved. It’s actually straight.

Jack and several other truckers waited there over 70 hours.

What a beautiful day! A cold one though, since it was only about 10 degrees and the wind was brisk.

These tankers were running back and forth to Prudhoe, transferring the fuel the trucks are carrying while the road was closed.

Jack says each of these tankers on the left carry about 2500 gallons. He carries 10,000 if he is full.

This one can carry 2500 each tank.

Jack was hoping this guy was coming to unload him but no, he must have been going to fill up some other vehicles and equipment down the road.
