8/18 - Fairbanks & Beyond








"Another fine mess you've got us in, Ollie!"



That could have been the title of our day Tuesday, but everything worked out just fine.



We were off and running early from Denali and had our camper set up, lunch finished and were ready for an adventure by noon. I've had it in my head for quite some time that I'd like to visit the Arctic Circle, so Bonnie agreed that today would be the day! Silly girl!



It's less that 200 miles each way, says I. We'll be home in four hours, says I.



Well, I forgot to take into consideration that the road was paved less than half the way. The rest was "gravel," although there has been considerable rain, so "mud" might be more appropriate.



So, 8 hours later we made it back, with pictures of us at the sign and of the truck to prove it!


Remember, this IS our Alaska Adventure!
