View point along the road to Fairbanks


Viewpoint of Alaskan Range to Fairbanks

Which one is the knot head?


Construction (a common sight) along the Alaskan Highway



Day 9 Saturday On to Fairbanks
We left Beaver Creek, Yukon Territory at about 930 am. Shortly after crossing into Alaska, we got slowed down by over 20 miles of major road construction with long waits, pilot cars, and lots of rough road. We went through Tok around 130 and stopped and explored a couple of gift shops, paid around $5.45 a gallon for Diesel. Went on to Fairbanks, arrived at Tucker’s house in North Pole, Alaska around 530 pm, and had a nice steak barbeque. It was a beautiful sunny day, about 80 degrees. The mosquitoes enjoyed the weather too. It did not get dark, we slept anyway.
