Fairbanks to Valdez

After spending one night in Fairbanks, it was time to head for Valdez. We went by way of Delta Junction which is the 'End of the Alaskan Highway.'

We stopped for lunch at Delta Junction at Rika's Roadhouse. It is an historical park dedicated to the Swedish woman who ran the roadhouse for many years.

 This is an example of what a bedroom looked like back in the early 1900s.

 These are some kitchen items. I don't think I would ever be able to use a can of allspice that big! It looks like a gallon of paint!

 From the roadhouse we could see the Alaska pipeline crossing the river.

 A bit further down the road at the visitor center for Delta Junction, we saw these huge mosquitoes!

 And the end of the Alaskan Highway....

 Well, it looks like they are still working on it. Larry and Connie are once again leaving us in their dust!

We stopped for the night at a pull-off near Paxson Lake. It was a nice quiet site with beautiful views of the lake. The next day it was on to Valdez!
