Day 19

Monday 6/9/03
Drove to Fairbanks. Past Ellison AFB and through North Pole, AK
There was a lot of construction coming into Fairbanks. Checked in to the Chena Marina RV Park. This is the same park that Lyle & Kathy stayed at two summers ago and they had recommended it to us. Full service with a dial tone connection in the lounge for modem hook-up. Paid for 7 days. The park is on a floatplane pond so we can watch planes take-off and land. Best showers and restrooms that we have seen yet. Called Lyle, Greg, Orrs, Sykes & Toni, chatted with other campers and rested. Simba slept.

Day 18

Sunday 6/8/03
Left Tok at noon after doing laundry at a laundry in a RV park in town. An only animal seen today was one porcupine by the side of the road. Camped in The Harding Lake State Recreation Area about 40 miles south of Fairbanks. There were a lot of mosquitoes so we stayed in the trailer in the evening daylight, which now stretches well beyond midnight.
