Chicken to Tok and Fairbanks

We spent Sunday driving to Tok and Monday driving from Tok to Fairbanks. Driving from Tok we had to have a pilot car for about 15 miles because of the smoke. It was smokey the whole way but not enough to hinder our driving. We stopped a couple of times along the way, the last time at North Pole Alaska a few miles from Fairbanks. Some people had made out Christmas cards and at the North Pole they will hold them until Christmas and mail them with a North Pole cancellation. We called J.R. when we reached Fairbanks and he and his pretty girlfriend Amanda came over to visit. We all went to dinner and had a nice time. Pat got to show off her grandson to our friends on the tour. Today we have a busy day of tours and sightseeing. Pictures to follow.
