Fairbanks

Sept 13 Day 45
We are freezing our asses off up here in Fairbanks and we want another look at the northern light,   with the rain it doesn't look good.  45 degrees but with the rain feels like 0.  Many of the campgrounds have their water turned off and are closing for the season, all going to AZ for the winter.  We have one more thing to do tomorrow, Pioneer park and then I think we have seen everything we are ever going to see.  Today we saw Dredge #8 and the Alaskan Pipeline. On the way to Fairbanks we went through the North Pole and Nenana (had to see that town, sounded like a Nana kind of town), also the Tenana river.



Sorry to leave Denali

this is a ghost town 
The office of this campground looked like a troll house, had to bend down to get in the door, in Fairbanks

Lots of these little fast service houses we stopped for Tai food in this one, it was good.
