Well it's been a few days since we have had WiFi so will try to catch up on where and what. After leaving Chicken we headed down to Tok which is not a lot of anything except that we rejoined the Alcan highway near there and headed to Delta Junction which is the end of the Alcan. We spent a night in Delta and then headed up the Richardson highway to North Pole and 'Santaland' which is about 12 miles south of Fairbanks. Not much there but it was a nice campground and close to "fishing" so we stayed two nights. We were supposed to have had WiFi but their system was down and we ended up not having service at all. Yesterday the girls went shopping and sightseeing in Fairbanks and Dick and I went fishing on the Shashna river which is really just a fairly shallow, wide creek. We caught a boatload of grayling and I brought a couple home for Verla's supper (She's the only one who likes fish)and she said they were very good eating. We caught them all on dry flies which to most will mean nothing but to those of you who are fishermen you will know we had a great time. The girls had a good time doing their thing and this morning we awoke to drizzling rain and a fully overcast sky. We moved to a different campground in Fairbanks so we would be closer to the sights here and we have wi-fi. Did some sightseeing and shopping in the rain and now are hunkered down in the camper. It is breaking up though so maybe I can go catch some more grayling!!!!!!
Found a church to go to tomorrow so will spend the day here yet tomorrow and maybe head for Denali on Mon or Tues. That's about it for now. Take care.
