Greetings from Fairbanks AK.. It is Wednesday and we are going on our second day touring this 80,000 population, second largest city in Ak. Drove up from Tok on Monday stopping at Delta Junction the official end of the Ak Highway........a nice short day In Delta Junction we stopped at the Sullivan Roadhouse( a roadhouse is like a motel from the old days ) and met a very neat 88 year old lady who drove up from Wisconsin in 1961 with 6 of her 9 kids and decided to stay. Its a long story my finger does not have time to tell. Also stopped at Rika's Roadhouse, another neat historical place on the river. We have a good camping spot in Fairbanks and went on the riverboat Discovery yesterday. It was a great 3 1/2 hour tour stopping at an Indian village for about an hour. We also went to a wooden bowl making company and bought souvenirs.Also saw the Ak pipeline and got some of the engineering behind its building and operation.......fascinating. Weather is good.......lows in the 50's high's in the 70,s and mostly sunny. Running low on beer, will have to breakdown and the pay high prices.
