Coldfoot, Alaska

Coldfoot Coldfoot is little more than a truck stop on the Dalton Highway between Fairbanks, Alaska and the tiny oil town of Deadhorse at Prudhoe Bay. There are no services along the Dalton on the 240 miles between Coldfoot and Deadhorse. It has a post office (the blue building above), The Trucker’s Cafe (the restaurant to the right), a few overnight accommodations at Coldfoot Camp, and an airstrip.

Commander's Conference Room
The last chapter of the book involves a fateful meeting between the US Military, members of The Order, and the surviving scientists that takes place around the commander’s conference table in the headquarters building at Eielson AFB. I toured Eielson AFB as part of my research for the books, and took this photograph and many others.
