... br>We got to Fairbanks on Thursday afternoon, and Val started her research at the university right away. On Friday Val completed her research at the college by 3:00 p.m. Saturday morning we spent with Candy, and Saturday afternoon with Frances.

Maybe you should let your cousins know about this again. The Reindeer are happily resting and eating out the back of Santa's house and I believe listened to us ...

The remaining stretch of the journey passed without incident (no bears or moose) but it was very entertaining to watch Poppy's frustration and need for speed grow whilst she stuck rigidly to 65mph. (Poppy: Thank god we have cruise control, otherwise I think the task would have proved impossible!) Once we arrived in Alaska ...

... is still a distance of 8 miles to the Beaufort Sea for which there is no public access. Apparently there are organized tours for the last stretch in season. There are no medical facilities between Fairbanks and Deadhorse. Food, gas and vehicle repairs are extremely limited.
