Fairbanks is a bigger city than most here in Alaska, but it still maintains a smaller town feel. That's probably why I like it a lot more than Anchorage.
There's maybe a 10 square block 'downtown' area that has a lot of character. I just went to the typical tourist places like the city museum, the new visitor's center, and Pioneer Park.
It gets a lot warmer up here than it was down in Anchorage. I believe it got into the 80s. I put on a long sleeve shirt thinking it would be cooler since we were farther north, but I was very wrong.

Paul left a message from Coldfoot informing me that he was there and it was some tough riding. He called from a 907 number so I'm guessing there is no mobile coverage up there. I called up to Prudhoe Bay hotel and they said it was drizzling there. I plan to start heading for the arctic circle (A little ways before Coldfoot) and if all is well I'll continue on to Deadhorse.
Fairbanks has a couple of really nice public golf courses. I played past midnight at one of them.
ReplyDeleteCool town.
Enjoy your foray into the extreme north.
