Fairbanks
Yesterday we toured Fairbanks, visited the Alaska pipeline, and saw where WalMart, food stores,etc. were in the AM. Yesterday afternoon we wenty on a stern wheeler boat ride up the Chena river to the Tanana river. The tour used to go into the Tanana river but a couple of years ago a sandbar was left by the spring runoff right at the mouth of the Chena. We watched a float plane take off and land, stopped at an indian village, and saw where Susan Butcher (a famous musher) had her kennels on the river. Today we did errands, bought food, did laundry, and I'm making spaghetti for dinner. Tomorrow is a free day and tomorrow night we have a dinner at Susan Butcher's. Friday we leave for Denali Park. The weather right now at 4:30 PM is 78 degrees and mostly sunny.
