Tok to the North Pole, Alaska

After getting our radiator fixed in the RV, we were able to head north again on the Alaska Highway.  We moved about 80 miles to a nice gravel area by a river and enjoyed the view for 3 days.

Today we broke camp and took our time getting to the North Pole.  We made 4 stops before we got to the Famcamp at Fort Wainwright, Fairbanks, Alaska, only to be told they only had sites with water...no electric.  So we moved over to Riverview RV Park in North Pole, Alaska.  Tomorrow we hope to find cheaper camping so we can stay for a few more days...there is lots to see in the area.

Sullivan Roadhouse in Delta Junction.  In the early 1900 roadhouses were an important part of Alaska.  They were the B&B's of their time.  A place to stop and eat and spend the night.  They were also a place where the locals went out to eat.

We had to stop at the visitor center in Delta Junction...the official end of the Alaska Highway.  Got our certificate and pin and pictures.

They told us mosquitoes were big in Alaska..but REALLY!!!!

Here is a picture of Rika's Roadhouse.  As you can see it is a lot larger and nicer than the Sullivan Roadhouse. 

Then we stopped at the Knotty Shop for ice cream and to check out the "knotty stuff" like the burl wood displays in front of the shop.

I got a picture of Santa's Workshop at the North Pole on the way by...tomorrow I want to go visit Santa and tell him how good I have been and how bad Ed has been!  ;-)  Just kidding Ed.  Anyone want me to put a good word in for you just let me know.
