We arrived in Fairbanks, AK; our most northerly point on this trip. The sun has been shining, it is very warm and I am sitting only in shorts outside. It is 21:30 hrs and the sun is too bright to see something on the computer.
Fairbanks, what a city! Up here where the bears and the buffalo roam. Population over 30 000; lots of traffic, even a four lane highway.
We went to an ice carving museum; they keep the displays at 20ºF so there is something to show the tourists.
We are next to the Chena river in a campground; airplanes are constantly moving overhead; we must be at the end of the runway, bad choice! Who can sleep any way during daylight. I fried potatoes and fresh fish for supper.
