We finally got everything together and left Fairbanks around noon today. We stopped at The Santa Claus House in North Pole, AK, about 20 miles out of Fairbanks. After an extended stop there, we headed on down the Richardson Highway toward Tok. We made another extended stop at Rika’s Roadhouse and had a bite to eat. From there we drove on into Tok, AK, arriving around 7:15 PM.
There we secured a campsite and had a dinner of salmon, halibut and reindeer cooked on an open fire. It was very good. Then we called it a day.
We are contemplating driving to Chicken, AK tomorrow. We don’t know whether to come back to Tok and continue on down the Alaska Highway (Canada is 93 miles away from here) on continue from Chicken on down the Top of the World Highway. We are getting bad reports from both routes of really bad, rough roads. There are reports of motorhomes being towed back to Tok that have broken because of the terrible roads. We’ll just have to see what lies ahead for us.
We drove almost 214 miles today. The high temp we encountered was 78 degrees, the low was 51 early this morning.

Be careful. Just heard from someone else that even heavy ol' trucks were sliding around on the gravel! Stay safe!
