Sharp's Travels

We left our campground at Fairbanks and at mile 50 we took a 45 min. break at the little town of Nenana. Their claim to fame is the Nenana Ice Classic, an annual lottery started by railroad workers in 1917 to guess when the ice covering the Tanana River would break up in the spring. You guess right down to the second. There were also lots of little log cabin shops to look through. The flowers at all the shops were beautiful.

Back on the road and only about 65 miles to go. We arrived at Denali Rainbow Village RV Park in Denali Park about 2pm. It didn’t take long for us to all get parked and set up. Gay & I had lunch and then checked out the shops.

It started raining and the temperature was about 54 degrees so we headed back to the 5th wheel, we got caught up on e-mails and settled in for the night.
