As we were getting closer to Tok we saw a couple of RVs on the side of the road on a pull off so we decided to make it home for the night also. It was about 3 miles from Tok. Good Night
This is an antenna in the middle of no where. Alaska has no local TV stations so they transmit to different repeters all over Alaska and that is how they get their local TV channels.
Still hazy.
We saw the brake lights on the back of a car in front of us so we thought maybe they had seen an animal so we slowed down after they were gone and looked and looked. This is what we found, it was way out in the trees across a river. I don't know how they ever saw it cuz it was just a speck.
A bridge on the way.
So on we go to Tok.
And, of course, we have to take a picture of the end of the Alaskan Highway. This was later in the evening so we couldn't take a good picture on the right side with the Alaskan/US flag. There was too much shadow.
Delta Junction welcomed us and we were told we could park there at the visitor center. There were fixing to close and they said we could park and spend the night so we parked and after a while we decided that we weren't too tired so we kept on going to get closer to Tok and out of Alaska.
This is an old wooden culvert. Culverts used to be wooden.
I think this was a 1942 truck.
In front of the Visitor's Center at Delta Junction was a museum of old machines and trucks that were used on the Alaskan Hwy. Some of these were dated back to 1932.
Rika's Roadhouse is supposed to be a popular place but we didn't go there.
I think this is some kind of Alaskan pipe lines.
And away we go, still chasing the haze.
Another shot of, we don't know what.
Then we saw this and couldn't tell what he was. We thought he might be a mix of something. His tail looked like he was a fox, but I don't know, he might of been a dog. He was in the middle of no where though.
I asked Tommy to blow the horn so he could look up and he did for a minute. Then he blew the horn again and she said forget you, I'm not playing games with you, I'm hungry.
This is my very first moose that I saw in Alaska. I had been looking hard for them but we were never at the right place. I'm glad that I got her before we got out of Alaska. Most of the time you don't get good pictures of them because they've always got their nose in the grass, eating.
As you can see, there is a lot of haze in the air. The last 2 days in Fairbanks there had been some fires somewhere and that is one of the reasons we left. It sometimes was a little unbearable. Tommy was having trouble breathing and it even effected me a little. As we traveled out of Fairbanks we could see the haze as we got closer to Delta Junction.
This is an Alaskan reserve base.
On our way we saw where the Eielson AFB was on the side of the road so I snapped a few shots as we went by.
And here we go again. Straight into those orange and white signs that we know so well, construction.
Even the light poles in town and different businesses are candy canes.
This is at the entry of their business. Because this is the North Pole, it is always about Christmas, 24-7, 356 days a year.
Tommy is looking at all the letters that are sent to Santa Clause at the North Pole. I never asked him what the kids were asking for.
This is at the front of the park. Notice their van. There is also a giant size Santa Clause in front of here but I downloaded it and somehow lost it.
Even this RV Park is all about Christmas.
While we were in Fairbanks we went to the North Pole, AK. We were going to stay at a North Pole campground but we went and checked it out a day before and decided to stay at Fairbanks and take a day trip to the North Pole. This little town is all about Christmas. This store has everything Christmas you can think about.
