We left Healy this morning and stopped along the way in Nenana, a neat little town that was very smoky from nearby forest fires.
Beautiful flowers at a shop in downtown Nenana
St. Mark's Episcopal Church, built in 1905 and a Nenana landmark.

This tripod for the Nenana Ice Classic is used annually every February when they have the Tripod Raising Festival that culminates at break-up time in April or May. Locals are in competition to see when the ice will thaw on the river and the tripod will dislodge. This contest has been a spring highlight since 1917.
Arrived in Fairbanks this afternoon and walked to the Alaska Bowl Company and saw these young men in action making the bowls! Shopped for a few groceries at Fred Meyer, grilled out steaks and then walked to The Alaskan Grill for dessert (warm cinnamon bread pudding w/caramel suace and grape-nut ice cream for me and chocolate mousse cake w/fresh raspberries for Mark) - both DELISH!!!
