Riverboat Cruise

July 21, 2009
Fairbanks, AK

Sunday was a driving day; we made the half-day trip from Denali to Fairbanks, and found a nice spot at the local Wal-Mart. There were 20-30 other rigs parked there, and they even have two sections of the parking lot that are lined off for RVs. Gotta love that.

Monday was a "down day", filled with relaxation and a few errands. We caught up on email and bills, and I made a run to a local truck supply shop to pick up a new air filter for the coach (the dusty driving sent the restriction gauge to almost to the "change me now" spot, and this will be the last place I'll be able to get one for a while).

On Tuesday, we decided to do a little touristy stuff, heading for the Riverboat Discovery tour in the afternoon. The same family has been working the rivers in this area for five generations, four of them schlepping tourists around. Although the 3.5 hour tour didn't travel that far down the Chena River and back, there were several interesting stops along the way. Click here for pictures.
