Fairbanks & Artic Circle - August 1,2005

On August 1st Bob, Sue, Sandy, and Christine drove to the Artic Circle from Fairbanks. It's about 200 miles one way from Fairbanks. They had an awesome trip. The flowers were georgous. They also saw a forest fire.

After their one day trip to the Artic Circle (leaving from Fairbanks), we drove south towards Anchorage. We spent one night in Denali State park. Then the next day drove about 50 miles south where we put the fifth wheel in an RV park. We then drove into Anchorage to retrieve our two grandchildren, Nichole (15) and Cody (14). That same evening we drove back to the fifth wheel.

The next day Nichole and Cody went fishing. Nichole was rewarded with her first ever fish. She named him 'Phil'. That didn't stop Bob from cooking and eating the fish. On the morning of August 5th we headed back north to Denali. We had some beauitful views of the mountain before it clouded back in. More on Denali in our next blog!!
