June 16, Tok to Fairbanks, 208 miles


Another easy day. Had breakfast at Grizzley’s and Sandi did laundry before we left Tok. On the road to Fairbanks we saw a moose standing in a pond beside the road but no time or space to stop and get a picture. By the time you get this bus slowed down and find a place to pull over, it’s too late. If you do get a chance to take a picture, the critter has turned and is headed into the brush so all you get is their backside. Sandi was able to take several good pictures though of a rabbit. Now I don’t care who you are, that’s funny! Lots of the Pine trees here have burls on them which is caused by a fungus I think. Stopped at the Knotty Shop on the way and took this picture. Parked tonight at Pioneer Park in Fairbanks. The Park is all about the history of Fairbanks and Alaska, a lot like Living History Farms. Bought our Tour Saver book at Safeway and booked a Riverboat Discovery tour for tomorrow. Cooked fresh Coho salmon for supper on the grill. Had salmon for supper last night too, just can’t seem to get enough of it.
