I’m staying at Ice Alaska RV Park & Campground here in Fairbanks and it is one of my favorite campgrounds. It’s not all that beautiful, but I like the fact that it’s centrally located within biking distance of Pioneer Park, downtown, several places to eat, a couple nice bars, etc. There’s plenty for me to do since I’m the ‘office staff’ now. I check people into the park and once in a while have to get tough with people to get them to pay up or to keep quiet. Lots of fun. Anyway, I thought you might like to see what the park looks like, so here are a few pictures.
This first shot is my rig up against a felt backdrop that is used to provide a dark background for the ice sculptures that will be here in March:

Here’s the view looking west, it’s near sunset but it hardly gets dark this time of year (taken in middle of July):

There’s the office. I get my WiFi from over there and it’s kind of weak but usually good enough, I’m also able to use the office computer most of every day:

Here’s the view looking east, note that the park is so big, I hardly have any neighbors this direction:

This is a picture of Hoa (pronounced Wa), she’s the office manager and runs the park. We hit it off right away and I’ve been working in the office since the 2nd week I was here. It’s her helpful friendly personality that convinced me to spend the winter here in Fairbanks, oh, and the offer of some spending money and a nearly free place to stay. She has a thick accent (she’s Vietnamese), but we manage to communicate. The guy is named Don, he is a volunteer and on the board of directors. He’s helping Hoa make a vinyl sign for the park:
