On Tuesday we left Delta Junction and headed up the Richardson Highway to Fairbanks. We saw a moose standing in some water in the ditch but didn’t get stopped in time for a picture. Further on we saw a moose and her calf in a small clearing but as we slowed down, they saw us and ran into the woods.
We made it to Fairbanks, found our campground, and got set up. Great CG with some alot of beautiful flowers.
These are dinner plate dahlias.
We also found Walmart and got stocked up on staples for our return trip thru Canada.

We got a call from Janice and Roger Kasper about 4:30 letting us know that they arrived in town. So we met up with them at their motel, checked out the Chena River area that runs thru downtown.
Had to put this picture in - JCPenney was one of the contributors to have the downtown river area revitalized.
The we decided on supper at the Silver Gulch Brewery in Fox, AK, 10 miles north of Fairbanks.
We had to take pictures of these signs in the lobby.
We had some excellent beer and good food as well. The restaurant itself was very large and very nice. We ate and chatted for a couple of hours, and when we left, we noticed that the place was full, and, there was a long waiting line!! Apparently this is a very popular place!!

We stopped at the pipeline on the way back and had some pictures taken.
This is the same place that we stopped at back in early June and met Marie and Benny Benson who clued us in on the school host program.

We ended up back at their hotel and played a few games of Yatzee before finally leaving and going back to our CG.
On Thursday morning we met them at the University of Alaska Museum and toured the museum.
Whaaaaatt???????
Saw a film on winters in AK and one on the northern lights. After lunch Roger and Janice went panning for gold and then came over to our CG for supper of grilled salmon, etc. The weather was great so we sat outside while we grilled the salmon. We had both king salmon and sockeye salmon. Of course, we later played more Yatzee!!

Judy and I were sure glad that we made the trip back to Fairbanks so that we could meet up with them and spend some quality time together.
Today we left Fairbanks and made it to Tok (about 210 miles). At this point we have come full around – we started here in June and are now back. We will spend the weekend here – Sunday night the musicians that we first saw here back in June will be here again and we wanted to hear them again.
Monday we take the Taylor Highway north to Chicken, AK to pan for gold. Then we will continue on over the Top of the World Highway to Dawson City, YT. The road in AK is known to be not-so-good so we will see. Then we have to take a ferry across the Yukon River and then on a paved highway down to Whitehorse.
Should be an interesting trip…
My team at work love the beer signs. We want to hang them up here. Ok, so what is that, that you are sitting in? It looks like a giant outhouse. A ferry? You are going to drive the RV and truck onto a ferry? Wow! I want to see pictures.
