Musk Oxen before departing Fairbanks

Reindeer; MuskOx;  and Caribou were all visible during our visit to LARS or Large Animal Research Station, University of Alaska Fairbanks.  To the Northeast of Fairbanks is Chena Hot Springs, where we took a relaxing soak in the natural hot springs.  Along the road from the Hot Springs we saw this moose taking its own soak.

One evening in Fairbanks we went to the Alaska Goldpanners of Fairbanks baseball game and had a coca cola and cracker jacks.  On the Summer Solstice, June 21, they play a game during the midnight sun.  The game starts at 1030pm and ends the next morning all in daylight.

We departed Fairbanks on June 18 to the SE to Tolsona about 14 miles east of Glennallen on the Glen Highway (1).  We drove on the Richardson Highway (4) from Delta Junction to the Glen Highway.  The Richardson goes south to Valdez;  and the Alaska pipeline parallels this road and also ending in Valdez.
