Visiting North Pole & the Museum of the North

North Pole Alaska 

     We headed north on the Richardson Hwy. after leaving Valdez. We stopped for the night at a BLM campground about halfway to Fairbanks. The next day we stopped at the North Pole a tourist stop that has a Christmas theme including some resident reindeer. After this we went up to a university farm project where they raise Musk Ox and Caribou.

We camped overnight in Fairbanks and woke up to a cool, windy, rainy day. It was a good day to visit a museum so we headed to the Museum of the North at U of Alaska. The displays were very nice and informative about Alaskan wildlife and native Alaskans culture and history. We spent 2 or 3 hours there before heading out to get lunch and to move on down the road.
