The Alyeska Pipeline Service Company built the 400 mile "Haul Road" from Livengood, just north of Fairbanks, to the north slope oil fields at Prudhoe Bay. The pipeline parallels the road. Mostly gravel, the road was built to handle the hundreds of heavy construction vehicles that used it daily. They completed the road in 1974 in just 5 months. In 1979 the company gave the highway to the state of Alaska as a gift. Air strips were needed along the route to support the construction camps. Many of them are still in use today to help maintain what is now known as the Dalton Highway. Commercial truck traffic delivering supplies and fuel to the North Slope oil fields accounts for the majority of the traffic, although tourist traffic, including motorcyclists and cyclists, has been increasing steadily since the highway was opened to the public in 1994. This airstrip is also used as a base for guided hunting trips for Arctic caribou and wolves.
My choice is to fly the Dalton in a small bush plane with big tires.
Happy Valley Camp is the 8th of the 10 airstrips along the Dalton Highway.

Installation
Copy the tn-airport-hvy-happy-valley-camp folder inside of the zip file into your MSFS Community folder.
Many thanks to the creators of the Required and Recommended libraries. If you have not previously installed these libraries in your Community folder, some objects may not be visible in your sim. Remember, you only have to install these one time. Also, go to the sim marketplace and download the free UK2000 Scenery Common Library. All Microsoft World Updates should be installed also.
