Day 16. Arriving in Fairbanks AK

We had a short drive of about 300 miles on the Top of the World Hwy & up Route 2. It was an easy drive & we arrived in Fairbanks early, about 1:30pm. We had the oil changed & checked into the Riveredge RV Park.

We went to Fred Meyer store to by some groceries. We had fresh, wild Sockeye salmon & califlower. It was the best meal of the trip so far. We toured Pioneer Park & found out that a good Aurora Borealis is scheduled for Sunday night. We will set our alarms for 1am in hopes of clear skies to watch the show. We also met a probable classmate of Kent's from JFK Junior High, 1973-74. We didn't remember him.

We also quickly toured the University of Alaska, which is near our campground.
