We left Fairbanks, Sunday Aug. 30th, around 8 AM. It had rained a good portion of the night and on into the day. Traveling again made me feel pretty happy, even the rain didn’t dampen my spirits. After 6-7 hours on the road, I knew I wouldn’t be seeing them that night and was missing my friends in Fairbanks allot, vowing to return the next spring.
Rain follows us out of Fairbanks, Alaska.

Hope it's not like this all the way home.

The first night of our long trip, or rather the first afternoon, we stopped at a restaurant & campground where the RV sites are right on the lake. We had dinner at the restaurant and enjoyed lake trout caught by our waitress. She didn’t say when she caught it but I suspect the year before. Still, it tasted good and was well prepared as were the side dishes. This was around 2 hours after it stopped raining on us and a glance off into the distance didn’t reveal any oncoming storms that I could see.
