We left Chicken with clear skies for one of our longest travel days, 283 miles ahead of us. First group pulled out at 8:00 and we made good time going down the Taylor Highway. The girls in the campground office in Chicken told us that it would take about 3 hours to travel this road because of the pot holes and gravel, but we made it in about 1.5 hours, mostly at a steady 55 miles per hour.
It was nice to get back onto the Alaska Highway, even with all the frost heaves and pot holes. After a week on dirt and gravel, even Phil was ready to wash at least one layer of dirt off of the rig when we got to Tok!!
A right turn here, going through Tok, AK to get to Fairbanks
Beautiful day for travel!!
End of the Alaska Highway monument
It was a beautiful sunny day, but the wind was blowing and it was nippy. As usual, Phil thought it was just right!!We stopped for ice cream at the Knotty Shop, where everything was make out of burel wood
This is $10.00 a FOOT, but it is labor intensive to remove the bark from this wood
We made it to Fairbanks and River's Edge RV Park. Our rig is in the first spot going into the park.
