With the discovery of oil in Prudhoe Bay in 1968, a pipeline was considered to be the most practical and cost effective means of transporting the crude oil from the oilfields in Alaska to the seaport of Valdez where it was to be loaded into waiting tankers for transport. The pipeline is a tube of 1/2-inch thick steel with a diameter of 48 inches and a total length of 1280 kilometers. After 5 years of surveying and geological...

Up The Creek: Pontoon Boats for Fisherman
After 7 years of fishing from my float tube and having suffered a serious back injury, I had to look at other options, as fishing from my tube was an impossible task.
