Day 36, Thursday, 7/23: Up early to shower and fix some breakfast. Plan to leave here by about 10 and visit the Wal-Mart in Fairbanks. Not sure if we will stay there or head south…
We didn’t make it very far today. Staying at the Wal-Mart in Fairbanks! Spent most of the day driving around the city and found the Wal-Mart, the Polaris dealer, Fred Meyer, etc. Did a bit of shopping and Bob bought some mud guards for the RZR so he is planning to install them here in the parking lot…. Tomorrow we head toward Denali National Park. It is still quite smoky today from the forest fire and I think we are headed in that direction. There is a breeze so maybe it won’t be too bad. We can’t believe how many RVs are in this Wal-Mart parking lot and some of them look like they have been here awhile. It’s like a little village!
Well, upon opening the box with the mud guards it was discovered that they had two right front fenders!! So much for that…. Will have to take them back in the morning.
We spent some time playing cribbage (after buying a new board in Wal-Mart as our very old one didn’t have regular pegs, just ends of toothpicks), and cooked a camper- oven sized pizza for dinner. Not a very restful night as we are right on a major expressway and the traffic noise was pretty bad.
We BRIEFLY discussed staying in Fairbanks until Sunday to attend the Governor’s Picnic and listen to Sarah’s farewell speech but Denali was calling….
