I actually drove out there in my pick up from Fairbanks and the lady at the desk didn't originally want me to drive thru the park to look at it to see if we wanted to move from where we were at. We were giving it a fair shot...but All Things Considered... we just felt it wasn't worth it and not nearly as nice as the place we have.
