The thing that I would most love to do, if guaranteed of not failing, would be to become a trucker on the ice roads of northern Canada and America. Over time I have watched the “Ice Road Truckers”. a program on television and really enjoyed “driving through the television screen“ with those brave truckies. I have resonated with every kilometre of the journey they undertake.

As an iceroad trucker, I would undertake the journey from Fairbanks to Prudhoe Bay. The journey would be along the Dalton Highway. The Dalton takes you through boreal forest, high alpine, and rolling tundra as you head nearly 500 miles (804 kilometres) north from Fairbanks to Deadhorse and Prudhoe Bay on …

The journey touted as taking 44 hours, with a distance between the two places 3617 km, is from The journey involves crossing the eastern border of America into Alaska from the western border of Canada with that state.

There are some fascinating places along the way; however, as the truckie I really wouldn’t have time to stop and take in those places of interest because of working to a deadline.

How I would love to be an Ice-Road Trucker. But that will only ever be in my dreams.
