OK, I checked this out last year to see what it was all about. Interesting, but exciting to see old fat Canadians (Nothing against them - they are fine people) driving semis.
But the reasons and the logistics are informative.
But THIS year, they're on the Dalton Highway, 250 miles from Fairbanks, Al to Deadhorse on Prudhoe Bay oil fields.
And Lisa Kelly makes it worth watching again. She 28, 120 lbs, jumps bikes in the summer, and drives a truck.
When a guy asks what she does, she likes to tell them, "Oh I drive a truck"
"You mean, like a small one"
"No, an 18 wheeler"
"Oh, yeah. Where do you drive?"
"On the Dalton ice road in the middle of winter." and watch their jaws drop
