MEMORIAL WEEKEND TRIP TO FAIRBANKS......
I went to Fairbanks at the invitation of my friend, Karen. I had a wonderful time. The only problem was it was just too short a visit (I'm not sure my hosts share that feeling :-)
I drove down on the Glen Highway and the Richardson Highway. It was a 10 hour trip-part of the time was spent stopping to admire beautiful interior Alaska and taking pictures.
I had a wonderful day on Sunday visiting with Karen and meeting Deborah. It was great to talk herbs and such.
Karen's friend Jeff has a German Shepherd that looks so much like my Dustin!
Karen and Jeff put me up in a cozy camper that reminded me of my wagon when I traveled with Vision Quest and lived in a cover wagon. I had the first full night's sleep I've had in forever! Wonderful!
I returned home on Monday via the Park's Highway-just seven hours this time. Of course, it was raining and there was less to photograph. Besides that the road is straighter and easier to drive-but also much, much busier!
I would love to spend more time telling you about my great trip but it took forever for the pictures to download and I have to get to work!! I'll let the pictures speak for themselves!

LOVE the pictures! Looks like you had fun getting to, arriving at and leaving from your destination! I'm thinking about printing copies of some of your mountain pictures, blowing them up and having them framed to decorate Rusty's office at our new house. I think a grouping of them would look so interesting.
Great Pictures! I am glad you finally made it to Fairbanks. I love the Alaska Range and all the beautiful scenery. Isn't Santa Clause House the worst tourist trap? The reindeer are cool though!
I didn't even go into the Santa Claus House-the trip was sooo rushed I didn't have time!
Kaeli,
Have you seen the pictures of Denali (Mt McKinnley)-I can't remember if I have any good ones of it or not but it might be cool to frame that one since people know it (that is if there is a good pic of it)
Well, you didn't miss anything. J.T. lives a couple of miles from there.
I wanted to call JT but time was just gone!
Great pictures! I can finally blog. I have no idea what I did differently but tonight it let me on for the first time in several weeks!
