Day 69, Sat, Aug 11, 2007, Fairbanks, AK

Today we got a pretty early start and went to the Ft Wainwright Exchange and commissary to get some needed items. From there we went to the Tananaw Valley State Fair. It was quite a warm day with the sun out all day, making it seem hot.

We were a little disappointed, although we did see some 45 pound cabbages and quite large turnips, along with a lot of other things grown here in Alaska. They grow so large because of the long hours of daylight. Of course we had to have the state fair hot dog and elephant ears.

On the way home from the fair we stopped at a car wash and used their vacuum to clean the inside of the motorhome as it really need it.

From there we did some shopping and then came back to the campground and used their car wash to clean this filthy motorhome. It was really dirty, but looks quite good right now.

Our neighbors, who also have a Roadtrek, drove up to the Arctic Circle today (just to say they’d been there) and when they got back their dog and Blackie romped around a bit. Blackie enjoyed having a playmate I think.
