t
he first two pictures are from the UAF campus
the last two are from the sawmill where we got the wood. This place is huge with these conveyor spitting out wood as we worked below them on the pile.
We have enjoyed Fairbanks very much. This is our 5th day here and our 35 day on the road. We spent almost all day on the University of Alaska at Fairbanks campus on Sunday. We visited the excellent museum along with the Botanical gardens. Also visited the large animal research facility. Today we shopped for campfire wood and the best price was at the sawmill. Got a good size load for $16 dollars, of course we had to load it., but with the cheap help that came with me, we got it done quickly, It is much better than buying the little 6 dollar bundles.
Barbara and I decided not to go any further north, instead we will leave and head toward Denali National Park tomorrow. This is the home to the tallest mountin in the US. We will be staying in the park at the 30 mile mark. Teklinika campground is the one that once in, you don't leave until you leave the park. No travel other than the inside park shuttle. The only wifi hotspot is at the entrance, that is also the only cell site.
This is somebody else work on Teklinika, but it has some nice pictures.
John and Barbara
