The Trek Continues...

After Tok, the next stop was North Pole, Alaska. The car and coach were dirtier than you can imagine so we stopped at Santa Land Campground and they had a wash rack. 3 hours later, the outside was fairly clean but the first time we turned on the fan in the car, dust blew all over the inside. Since we are retired, we took the time to clean it.



North Pole is only 12 miles from Fairbanks, Ak. Among other things, we saw the Alaska pipeline and musk oxen at the Large Animal Research Center.



Sunset was at 1227 and sunrise was at 324, or 21 hours 3 minutes of daylight. It made getting to sleep interesting. The temp was 49 at wake up and got as high as 62. Lots different than Fl.



Headed to Dinali National Park!
