Thanks, Trish! Nicely done. We look forward to more guest posts.
It rained most of yesterday but we took advantage of a brief sun break and cleaned up the EDGE exterior. The rest of the day was spent running errands and attempting to pick up our 2nd batch of mail. Priority Mail is supposed to take 2 days but it was sent from LHC on Monday and still hadn't arrived yesterday, 4 days later. Obviously, it takes longer for AK; we'll get it today, hopefully.
My favorite thing to do in the Fairbanks area, mentioned in an earlier post, was going to the Malamute Saloon to listen to Robert Service readings. Alas, it is closed and up for sale. Bummer.
Today is tourist day and Trish has a list of sites to visit, including the museum and LARS (Large Animal Research Station) at the University of Alaska Fairbanks. Gotta go pet the musk ox and caribou, aka reindeer. The weather's supposed to be good so we may have a campfire tonight; too many nights without campfires and Trish suffers severe marshmallow/chocolate withdrawal, flops around on the ground whining piteously - not a pretty sight.
Later. No mail today either; parcel pickup opens at noon tomorrow (Saturday) so will check one last time before we beat feet for the Keen Eye peninsula. Weather's better today but with sporadic showers so no campfire; we need socialization anyway so will find a funky old pub for suds and chow.
Pix are of musk ox and museum at UAF, and the old log cabin in front of the Cultural Center. UAF has 9000 students and a large impressive campus. I don't know why they named the LARS after a bird: bobwhites are fine but naming an entire branch of a university after them?
