Flooded Train Track

We awoke to a cold, rainy day in Denali again. Most everyone's plans to take helicopter or airplane rides or go riverrafting were cancelled. Our plans to be lazy were right on target. Holland America's plans to have us take the train to Fairbanks at 4 p.m. were changed, too! The river (I don't remember which one) is 15 feet above normal and has flooded the railroad tracks. In fact, it is just one foot below the big flood of 1967 that happened in Fairbanks! So, we were all loaded onto buses. T...

There's Gold in Them Thar Hills!

A busy, busy day! We started out at 8 a.m. with a bus ride to the boat dock to board a stern wheeler boat for a ride down the Chena River. We rode for about an hour and a half being entertained with stories along the way about the native Alaskans. We saw a float plane take off and land, saw dog kennels (Fairbanks is the headquarters for the Iditarod), and a native village. Got to see a demonstration of cleaning salmon--took a whole 25 seconds! Then by the time we returned, we had killed the w...

Day # 2 Fairbanks

Today was great!! It snowed a bit overnight and when I walked out to my car it was cloudy and about 5 degrees. I headed to the University of Alaska, Fairbanks Museum of the North. It turned out to be a great museum alot of good info on Alaskan history, the geography and biology of the area, and even some good stuff on the different native peoples. Plus there was this guy....and to think people hunt these with nothing but a bow!!! Then I headed out to find some cheap snowshoes for tomorrow and...

From Barrow to Bears

... away on a hillside.<br><br>After the bus ride the whole group went to the employee&#8217;s dining room for a Christmas in the Park dinner. It&#8217;s a comp for Dave and Val, but they were able to get tickets for Natalie and Dan. They met up with Carol and Larry Hensel from the Riley Creek Campground, and a great time was had by one and all. The frosting on the cake of a day was the beautiful alpenglow on the way home.<br><br>Your canine connoisseur,<br><br>Remington

Museum of the North & El Dorado Gold Mine

Time to do some touristy things in Fairbanks today. I did try to call a few places for my Barrow trip, but since today is Sunday, nothing is open. Another company said their next flight was in a week - not good for me. Pooh is trying to get to Our first stop was the Museum of the North at the University of Alaska. This was only a 5 min. drive from our place. The building itself is worth the trip as it is built in a modernistic way, or as the architect ...

The Roadrunner heads up to Fairbanks...Beep Beep.

... his cell phone and didn't seem to mind too much when we returned at 11pm one night having told him we'd left, so thank you Steve! Poppy: Also the room and house were probably one of the coolest places I have ever stayed. The collection of stuff ranged from a musket (apparently with working mechanisms according to Matt) hung on the wall with a plastic rose in the end and a small cushion saying 'Hug me' hanging from it to a full colour, relief frieze ...

... along with some interpretive dancing. Danner said he would pass. Danner seemed outraged that the tickets were $18. For that kind of money, he said there should be some nudity involved. I guess he isn't up for any culture. More later, Katheryn Day 14, Thur, 23 Aug, A day off in Fairbanks Since ...

... cut right through a cars windshield. I'm not out driving around this afternoon, however, I'm at a friend's house. In his basement on his laptop computer. He's off in his own virtual world, running through digital forests hunting enemies in the shape of a shaggy minotaur. Computer access is free here. And comfortable. This room is built to connect to the world. With the digital camera and this terminal the world can share as I explore sharing my world. * I was thinking of ...
