Roll Call Alaska 2016

Hi, still having fun! Met some nice locals in Dawson. Told her we were going to run up Dalton highway and were looking for a place in Fairbanks to leave the camper for a few days, intending to sleep in the cab. She said I live in Fairbanks, leave it in my place! Got to her place Sunday in the rain. She said fine to letting us hang around a few extra days till it dried up, even showever us around town. It rained on and off till Tuesday and we headed up Wednesday. Till around noon any gravel was pretty slick but then it started getting better. Mostly I went around 20. A motorcycle wiped out about a half mile behind me (you can see forever). By the time I had backed halfway to him he was up and rolling. Lots of motorcycles making the run, all going faster than me, and smiling. Got about 150 miles past the Artic Circle and called it a day. Locals said if you go past Atigun pass you've see the best of it so we took their advice and headed back on Thursday. Guess I don't need to say we didn't sleep real well in the cab when the sun never set. Still, an awesome experience.
Camped in North Pole, Chena lake campgrounds for a few days, then south to Denali.
Safe travels...
