On the bus on the way to Fairbanks, we get a good view of the train tracks and river from the bus as we cross the Nenana river gorge.

This is a rest stop. We're stopped at a unique rest stop/campground/museum/shop on the way to Fairbanks. The owner keeps his plane here among other things.
gttexas:
Junk or memories? You decide. That washing machine at right sure reminds me of Mrs. Ruth on a Monday morning! I think she had one just like it.
gttexas:
Looks like the owner has water landings covered too. There is a river just west of the rest stop.
gttexas:
Main entry of the shop/museum at the rest stop. There's quite a selection of animal traps to the left of the door.

Out back at the Fairbanks Princess Riverfront Lodge. This sight and the Chena river were just outside our window.
gttexas:
A paved, landscaped riverfront path extends quite a way down the river from the Princess.
gttexas:
A boat ramp and more buildings on the river. Surprisingly we're right in town and across the highway from the airport.

Angie reads the sign outside Pike's Waterfront Lodge about the Iditarod race starting at this point.
gttexas:
A view of Pikes Waterside Lodge. Actually it's right beside the Princess Riverfront Lodge.
gttexas:
Sign for Pike's Waterfront Lodge. Immediately across the highway is the Fairbanks airport.

In Fairbanks I saw numerous satellite dishes pointed downward. Whatever you have to do to get a signal I suppose.
gttexas:
We've just come on a path from Pike's to Princess and are at the side of the building. We're going to take the trail through the trees at right where it says Golden Heart City.
