Fairbanks is Alaska's Second City, but by a long shot. Anchorage has about 300,000 folks, Fairbanks about 30,000. It is easy to get around in, and even has two different four lane roads!
A panorama coming into town:
I love antler arches. I believe that the biggest one is the world is in Afton, WY. But you take what you can get
you can see how excited I am:
Fairbanks was a jumping off point to bring Lend/Lease material to Russia, and they have a monument to that:
and of course, being Alaska, they have CABBAGES BIGGER THAN YOUR HEAD!
I put my hat in it for scale. That is one big cabbage.
Just down the street from the VRBO we rented was Creamer's Field, and old dairy (that was run by a family named Creamer! That is an aptonym if I have ever heard one) that is now a migrating bird refuge.
There were plenty of Sandhill Cranes and Canada Geese when we were there:
As well as a Beaver Lodge:
in a beautiful little pond.
More on the Roes visit and the State Fair soon!
