We checked out of the River's Edge RV park, got the oil changed in the RV and drove out to North Pole, Alaska. Santa's workshop is located there and so are 3 of his reindeer! John was so excited about shopping in a Christmas store!! (NOT)
We decided to stay in Fairbanks one more night before heading to Denali. We are in a state park in the middle of the city. It's a beautiful day for a change. On the drive to North Pole we could actually see the Alaska Range mountains and possibly Mt. McKinley although we aren't sure which peak that was as they are about 145 miles away!
We rode our bikes over to the airport. Only in Alaska will you find one airport with a jet runway, a small plane runway and a water runway! It was neat to see all the seaplanes parked along the shoreline of the airport "pond".
We then took a really nice bike trail along the Chena River to the downtown area. There really is not much happening down town so after a cold ice tea we headed back -- 15.5 miles altogether. We stopped at a meat market and John met the butcher whose family founded 20th Century Investments in Kansas City! Small world.
