July 3

The past few days we’ve been in the Fairbanks area. While at the Visitor Center in town Marsha asked about the road that heads north from Fairbanks to the Arctic Circle then on to the Arctic Ocean. Of course we were only interested in driving the 100 plus miles to the Arctic Circle. By the time the person at the Visitor Center finished talking about the drive we were hooked. Today we start out heading all the way to the Arctic Ocean along the Dalton Highway or the Haul Road. The last seven miles to the Ocean is restricted and you can only go with a tour service which we booked for the upcoming Saturday.
