We stayed over in Fairbanks so we could do some sightseeing and take care of mundane household things. Jan went for a long bike ride this morning while I went to Safeway to stock up. I would have gone on the bike ride but I handle a grocery cart much better than I do a bicycle.
Around 11:30, we went with Jerry & Nancy to see the Alaska Pipeline. It was pretty interesting and the structure is amazing in it's architecture. We left there and planned to visit an historic gold mining dredge but found out admission was $15.00 and that included lunch. We didn't want lunch and thought $15.00 was a little steep for touring a mining dredge. We parted ways with Jerry & Nancy so we could go to a viewpoint about 20 miles away and take some pictures. No pictures again - the trees and bushes are so thick & tall that you can't see the view.
We stopped at an old mining camp (which is now a lodge) and ate lunch. It was a really neat old building. On the way back to the RV park, we stopped at a Federal Parks Visitor's Center and got our golden park pass. It's one of the perks for being old. I'm writing this in the laundromat - my last task for the day
FYI - sunset will be at 12:48 am & sunrise will be 3:02 am. That's so strange to us.
Tomorrow we head for Denali Park.
