We stayed at a campground outside of Fairbanks, which actually was located in North Pole, Alaska. We enjoyed all of the Santa sights and Marilyn and Leigh had a hard time on deciding which ornaments would look best on the tree. Santa only had 4 reindeer to view and even Santa needs a rest with Sunday and Monday off for relaxation. Bill and Herb were quick to go and find a car wash to get that Honda looking white again.
The afternoon was spent traveling around the Fairbanks area. We were especially impressed in seeing the Alaskan Pipeline. What an engineering feat! It travels both above and underneath the ground, depending on the animal crossings that need not be disturbed. The pipeline is raised to keep the permafrost from melting and liquefying. We also saw Gold Dredge 8 and the original mining area which had an interesting variety of homes, from trees growing out of roofs to very expensive mansions.
Sometimes the Wifi is not too reliable or the signal is not strong enough to get our blogs out to you.
Our pictures for this blog have been rejected twice, so we hope to show you in person one of these days.
