I bet these nice photos bring back fond memories!
It was the first time I drove to Alaska, very fond memories. Went up the next year on my Honda Goldwing, one and only motorcycle trip up there!

Your "unknown lake" looks like Muncho Lake in British Columbia.
Very possible. Its somewhere along the AlCan Highway, but I had no note on that slide as to exactly where.

Could very well be, I fished out of both of them quite a bit while I was there. Long time ago though. Only note on this slide was "Returning on the FV Shaman", the boat we were on was named Shaman

Looks like the same place. Hasn't changed much in 27 years either!

Why the crooked pipe line? Seems like it would be less pipe and other supplies to build.

the pipe line was built like that to allow the expansion of the pipes from the heat of the oil going through them. They also have heat sinks built on the pillers to disapate the heat so the perma-frost dont melt
