Episode 37: Phil Freeman - Riding to Prudhoe Bay by Motorcycle

The Dalton Highway starts in Alaska and terminates 414 miles north in Deadhorse, the town that exists to support the oilfields of the Alyeska Pipeline. Join us for a conversation with a motorcyclist who has logged almost 7,500 miles on The Dalton, completing the trip 18 times. Phil Freeman shares changing road conditions, stunning scenery and how to pass an 18-wheeler and not get loose teeth from a trucker’s fist. The Dalton is the northernmost highway on the continent and draws box-checkers, bikers and scooter riders from around the world. Phil gives his thoughts about Beaver Slides, Monkey Butts and Sabres. Make sure you have extra wipes in your tank bag for this one. In this episode, Phil talks about life in Prudhoe Bay, ice road truckers and how to deal with an emergency in the far and distant north. Want to hear the whole interview?Click Here to support Ten Minute Travels by Subscribing to our Travel Tribe Membership through Patreon.With your subscription, we will send you a private link, so you can hear the entire interview. Want to learn more about Ten Minute Travels?
