There's obviously more to Alaska than wildlife and since none were waving at us as we drove to Fairbanks today we stopped to see one of the best views of the TransAlaska pipeline just outside of Delta Junction. It carries more than 11% of US crude, over 510,000 barrels a day. It's an eight hundred mile pipeline from Prudhoe Bay to Valdez. (Just a little social studies trivia for you)
After taking Bessie to a vet in Fairbanks (she was really stressed and we were worried about her), we drove about 60 miles east of Fairbanks to Chena Hot Springs Resort. It's the end of the Chena Springs Road with so many turnoffs for great fishing we want to try them all this weekend. But we were tired and wanted to get to the campground, which really is great as it's part of the resort, no hookups, but a beautful hot spring with showers, horseback riding, airplane rides (no plans for that), dog sledding and the world famous ice hotel. I've been told that the appletinis are terrific....We'll let you know later. So, here are Bernardo and Bessie, keeping away from the mosquitoes and working on the internet!
