Fairbanks; the golden heart of Alaska!



8/18/10
Plaza at old visitor center

Biked to the Fairbanks Visitors Center
We're in sunny Fairbanks, although yesterday was overcast and a walloping rainstorm started as we were getting ready to go square dancing. It's overcast and drizzling today. BUT we had 4 glorious days of sun shine. They set a record high for one of those days hitting 91*. We've been biking; trips of 10, 6 and 4.5 miles, went to a Vaudeville show at Pioneer Park, danced with the Santa Squares (mainstream), and the Prospector Squares (plus), rode the Riverboat Discovery III up the Chena river to the confluence with the Tanana River.
