Delta Junction, AK,

We stopped th Fairbanks on our way through town. We had a good diner breakfast and caught up on the news before going to Safeway for a few things and getting fuel. We also sprayed the gray sludge off the camper and pickup fenders at a car wash.

It was a slow drive with several road projects requiring a pilot car during the 100 miles. Views of the Alaska Range were very beautiful, though.

Delta Junction isn't a very big town. The military post Ft. Greeley is here, and it isn't very big either. Phil and I went down there hoping to get lunch, and the one place to eat was closed today. We ended up eating at a Subway in Delta Junction as the only other place open was a walk-up dairy king kind of place and a Thai food truck.

At Subway, the employees were trying to catch a small bird that had entered by mistake. Just down the street, we also watched a road grader pull a big rig that had a building on the back. Apparently, they want to relocate this 2 story building, but they did not have enough oomph!

We are at the Snowed Inn RV park tonight. They have electricity, showers for $8, and a decent laundromat, but we have no picnic table or fire pit, and it looks like a big parking lot. We will be in secluded back country places the next two nights so it was good to shower, charge up all our batteries, and do a load of a laundry after 2 nights of mosquitos at the BLM campsite.Read more
