What can one say about an 800 mile ride across a border and two states? It was long. I woke up with the thought “If I can just get to Portland”. I geared up and on the road by 6:20 am.

The hotel I was in was nice. They are a full blown tourist destination with tons of kitschy things, like a theater about the Aurora, an Aroma Sauna ..etc. They also have a restaurant next door, and an ice cream bar. I partook in all of it. I made the right decision on coming backContinue reading “Day 10 (6/24/24) Fairbanks ( Steve)”
