Those are some fair looking banks over there

The past couple days have, as indicated in my last
entry, been spent hanging around Fairbanks. I've checked out the
University of Alaska Fairbanks Museum of the North, driven outside of
town to check out an Alyeska Pipeline viewing station, caught a movie,
gone to the northernmost Walmart in North America, done a lot of
reading, spent some time getting to know Fairbankians, and in general,
relaxed.
I bought a pipe and some tobacco at a smoke shop near UAF and have
spent a considerable amount of time sitting back, feet up, pipe in
mouth, book in hand, next to a river, reading. Beyond that, nothing too
interesting to report here.
Imagine that, relaxation on a vacation.
Tomorrow morning at 7am my twin engine, prop plane departs for Barrow.
If the weather is reasonably clear I should get some decent views of
the Brooks Range and Gates of the Arctic NP.
