Fairbanks - Day 2
1時間前, アメリカ ⋅ ☁️ 18 °C
We originally planned to roll out because my mom didn't love the Fairbanks activities. Then, I looked at camping and interest sites between Fairbanks and Denali. Almost nothing. So, we are back to myもっと詳しく
Ice Art Park Overnight
6月15日, アメリカ ⋅ ☁️ 17 °C
This place is a drive-thru 'winter wonderland' sort of thing that is a campground in the summer. We are the only people here. There is a permanent RV labeled "Camp Host" that isn't being used. It'sもっと詳しく
#35 RA: Unofficial Alcan End
6月15日, アメリカ ⋅ ☁️ 19 °C
They put up a sign at a park because this is where the road system stops going north, and many think of it as the end of the trek north. So I took some pictures. lol
#34 RA: 3 for 1

Polaris sculpture, historical plaques, and the northernmost railroad terminus that is defunct.

This Roadside attraction was 100% in honor of my hunters back in MO.
#32 RA: Touching the Pipe
6月15日, アメリカ ⋅ ☁️ 17 °C
The Alyeska Pipeline runs 800 miles from Prudhoe Bay to Valdez. It is sometimes above ground, sometimes below, and if you go to a point where it is transitioning, you can sometimes touch it.
#31 RA: North Pole
6月15日, アメリカ ⋅ ☁️ 19 °C
You know a town named North Pole is going to embrace that wholly. We stopped at Santa Land. Mom loved it. I won't lie... I love Christmas stuff, too. We left with a couple of wearables and anもっと詳しく
#30 RA: Alaska Pipeline
6月15日, アメリカ ⋅ ☁️ 14 °C
The pipeline is rarely taken over a large waterway anywhere that you can see it. So here are some pics of that.
#29 RA: The End - But Not Really
6月15日, アメリカ ⋅ ☁️ 13 °C
Mosquitos! I was warned. They are plentiful and huge and will wake you up at 4am when they get hungry. So, of course, I stopped to take pics of the metal sculptures celebrating? their existence.もっと詳しく
Tok (Toke)
6月14日, アメリカ ⋅ ☁️ 20 °C
I've been saying Tok like tic-toc, but it's with a long O.
We left Chicken, swung through Tok where we did laundry, bought a rotisserie chicken, saw the sign pictured above, and washed the suburbanもっと詳しく

This was "the day"... the record setting peep drop. They drop a load of peeps from a helicopter each year. This year's is the largest ever - over 12,000 peeps!

More music, more chickens, a dog parade with dogs dressed as, you guessed it, chickens, and chicken eggs for a meal.
Chicken - Day 3
6月11日, アメリカ ⋅ ⛅ 14 °C
Finally, Chickenstock starts today! A whole host of bands, many from AK, are lined up.

One of the chickens,もっと詳しく
Chicken - Day 2
6月10日, アメリカ ⋅ ☁️ 16 °C
Oh look! A dredge! What a surprise (*snicker*). Chicken was a gold mining town, just like Dawson City. They have the panning for gold thing, but not free and not in a river. And they have a big oldもっと詳しく
Chicken, AK
6月9日, アメリカ ⋅ ☁️ 15 °C
We.Are.Here! We are, in fact, early. I wanted to make sure we got camping on the festival site and it's first come, first serve. So, we'll be cooling our heels today. I don't mind. I plan to walkもっと詳しく
#28 RA: Top of the World Highway
6月9日, アメリカ ⋅ ☁️ 9 °C
Do gorgeous views in every direction the entire way count as a roadside attraction? I dunno, but I've never been on a road that rides the ridges rather than chasing the water. We were at the tree lineもっと詳しく
#27 RA: Paddlewheel Graveyard
6月9日, カナダ ⋅ ☁️ 12 °C
Apparently, when the road opened in 1952, the owners of the paddlewheels threw up their hands and beached their boats because they were suddenly useless. Here they lay to rot. The "bridge" on theもっと詳しく
Dawson City Ferry
6月9日, カナダ ⋅ ☁️ 11 °C
Dawson City decided that a big bridge over the Yukon didn't make sense, so they run a ferry. Upside: free!
Dawson City - Day 2
6月8日, カナダ ⋅ ☁️ 18 °C
Started early with a hike up the local mountain. My friends Angie and Darci would have loved it. I loved, um, most of it. I should have paid more attention to the elevation info... also, they areもっと詳しく
Dawson City
6月7日, カナダ ⋅ ☁️ 15 °C
Not exactly "Roadside Attractions" because we aren't traveling today. Today and tomorrow are both DC days. Toured the town, tried to pan for gold, saw a really big wooden dredge, and found a veganもっと詳しく
The Tintina Trench Rest Area Overnight
6月6日, カナダ ⋅ ☁️ 17 °C
A rough driving day. Mud lanes off the road, about 100 km of washboard road surface or construction, with dips and potholes between. I just couldn't make it to Dawson City, so here we are.
#26 RA: Five Fingers Rapids
6月6日, カナダ ⋅ ☁️ 15 °C
This navigational hazard on the Yukon created a problem for paddlewheel boats (as well as other boats), and they blasted the bottom of the river for about 25 years to make it deeper and wider. It isもっと詳しく
#25 RA: Loon Mosaic
6月6日, カナダ ⋅ ☁️ 12 °C
The town of Carmacks information said there was a boardwalk along the river. We didn't want to try to find it with the camper on. So we only have the welcoming loon mosaic sign to mark ourもっと詳しく

6月6日, カナダ ⋅ ☁️ 12 °C
3rd version built around 1910 for the Dawson Overland Trail. This roadhouse was part of a chain of 52 stopping places along the 530 km route. To take the stage from Whitehorse to Dawson City cost $125もっと詳しく
Fox Lake Fire Rest Area Overnight
6月5日, カナダ ⋅ ☁️ 17 °C
Another rest area because Fox Lake Provincial Campground was full. It was a long day, and I was toast. The rest area turns out to have a 200m trail with information boards about the 1998 fire thatもっと詳しく
