Old Packer Fans are everywhere!!  Even at Pioneer Park in Fairbanks!!!!

We have been in Fairbanks for the past 4 days and have been visiting places we missed 3 years ago.  This is a very interesting and alive place.  The Museum of the North at the University of Alaska campus is well worth the second visit.  The university does large animal research on Muskox and Caribou and they have tours of the facility, went there today also.  The smoke has cleared, it has been raining some, so that has helped.  Still can't see the Alaska Range to the South.

We head out on the first wilderness adventure on Wednesday.  So, will update after we return!!  It should be an something!!!     Take care, Carol and Ned
