I shot this video on a motorcycle trip to Alaska from Vancouver, BC 12 years ago. The time stamp for this clip was at 13:24 on August 17, 2007. The camera which I had used was Canon PowerShot G7. Since there were over 300 comments and many curious viewers, I have searched GPS location today. I did not have GPS locator in the camera then. So I have to track the time of previous pictures to find nearby places from the information in the pictures to estimate the distance and location of that particular service station. Luckily I found it eventually after many tries. The place is Eureka Lodge. The address is 685 Glenn Hwy, Alaska. GPS 61.9378326,-147.1735764
It is not uncommon that planes taking off from the highway in Alaska. Oftentimes I saw planes parked in the backyard of residents in remote mountainous area in Alaska. It seems flying make more sense than driving since residents in remote area might having hard time getting out by car, especially in winter.
By searching the GPS location, it has refreshed my memories again of this trip of lifetime. I saw sunshine, storm, hail, rainbow in one sky. I need GPS location for my own record…
I was moved by viewer's interest and took out the original video clip, and added couple of pictures of the pilot was filling the tank before taking off. The original video has higher resolution. I also have stabilized video so the viewing experience is more enjoyable. Here is the link: [ Ссылка ]
For the questions what type of fuel could be used in those planes: [ Ссылка ]
To see landing at the same location:

A viewer from Alaska commented that Gunsight Mountain is sighted in the background at the beginning of the video. It seems that mountain is familiar with locals.
