End of first phase

We arrived in Fairbanks yesterday afternoon...We put 2682 miles on from Bend. As soon as we hit Alaska, the mountains known as the Alaska Range were in view. This range contain Mt McKinley. It was great seeing the taller peaks and the glacier streams that come off these Mt's. They are very wide, white, rocky and different. Today we are going to work on pics to put on this blog. Tomorrow we will be in the Midnight Sun Run. Its 6 miles. We will see what happens, will we get stopped by margaritas and beer or will we finish. Then a big party will begin and last till the wee hrs., but it will be daylight, so we wont know the diff. I haven't see any dark for the last few days and nights. There is a baseball game that begins at midnight with no lights. Going to a big multi band concert and party tonight. We will be hitting the road on Monday for the Denali Highway, which is good gravel, 130 miles long and scenery beyond anything you have ever seen. We will spend 4-5 days on it, 25-30 miles a hour, stay in spots for a few days each, no emails, but will have reports when we get back.
