We took our time getting on the road because Fairbanks was only about 90 miles. It was a beautiful, clear morning and we were able to see 3 peaks in the Alaska Range: Mt. Hayes, Hess Mountain, & Mt. Deborah. They were pure white and absolutely breathtaking. I understand there are usually clouds hiding the tops so it was a real treat to get to see them so clearly. Jan and I stopped in the North Pole Visitor's Center (right before Fairbanks) and took some goofy pictures. I was hoping to go to Santa Claus House but we would have had to back track to do that. When you're hauling a trailer, it's not too convenient to back track.
We're in an RV park that's pretty good but doesn't look anything like the picture in "Mileposts". That picture shows RVs parked along the river with lots of space in between them. The reality is that we're squeezed in between other RVs and have to walk to the river if we want to see it. So much for truth in advertising.
We were all set up by lunch time so we took the opportunity to run some errands. We bought tee shirts at Fairbanks Harley Davidson (the farthest north Harley dealership so the shirts are special). We also went to an auto parts store so Jan could buy some electrical connections for some kind of repair to the trailer lights.
We ended the day by going out for dinner. Jerry & I noticed a restaurant menu sitting on the desk when we checked in and the food sounded so good. We were determined to have some grilled halibut or salmon for dinner - and we did.
