24 - We Need Gas

012408 Gas

When you drive the Al-Can highway in the wintertime, if you see gas, you stop and fill your tank - always.  This is one of my favorite pictures of our trip.  When a friend of Beth's saw this picture, she said, 'OMG, do you mean it was just a gas pump by itself in the middle of nowhere?'  There was a tiny 'store' that was like two 8x10 storage sheds attached to each other just to the left, outside of this picture.  The most important thing at this stop was that we got gas and we got to go to the bathroom.  It was -20 at this stop.  Yes, that is NEGATIVE.  It gets colder the next day.  Also, notice the road.  Oh wait, no road to see.  You cannot really see the difference between the snow-covered gas station lot and the snow-covered everything else.  The highway usually had two tracks that where the snow was mostly beaten off of the road.  Notice the green dumpster on the left.  I was highly impressed that they had trash collection out in the middle of nowhere Canada.
