The road to Fairbanks out of Tok was great! Only a few short gravel areas and/or frost heaves-piece of cake compared to the past. Our first stop was at Delta Junction, where we made pictures of the end of the Alaska Highway sign. We would have more of it on our return home, but by now we felt like pros. A few miles down the road, we stopped at the Rika Roadhouse. A really neat historic roadhouse. Of course our major reason was we were told it was a neat place for lunch-and it was. Denny had the halibut sandwich and I had crab bisque. Delicious!
We finished walking around and admiring the grounds and headed back to our RV's to finish our trip. Pretty soon, we were on a four-lane road. Heaven! Haven't seen that since Great Falls, MT. We found our campground and with the WM's assistance parked our rigs. We are staying at the Rivers Edge Campground right on the Chena River. Very nice, we have 50 amps, free Wifi and cable tv. Life is good!
As soon as we settled in, we had a social hour which lasted more like 3 hrs. Everyone was in high spirits and so glad to be there. However, one rig about 20 miles outside of Tok had a fuel pump go bad on their RV and had to turn back. However, even though they wouldn't have their rig repaired until Monday (they had to order the fuel pump), they drove their car to Fairbanks (209 miles) and are staying in a cabin at our campground so they can participate with us. They will have to drive back to Tok to get their rig, but I would have wanted to do the same thing. We are just glad they are back with us.
Big day tomorrow-time to pull the curtains and pretend its dark outside-crazy!
