We arrived in Fairbanks at 8 PM Central time (5 PM local time). We decided to try out some local cuisine at the Thai House. It was really good! Afterward, we decided to head over to a local ice cream shop we heard about (Hot Licks), but we had to take the bus. On the way, one of the stops was at the local Wal-Mart. I believe we witnessed something slightly unusual...
As we pulled up to the bus stop, I looked over and saw a military truck complete with the canvas roll-up roof. There were several soldiers that were loaded metal folding chairs into the back that they had just purchased at Wal-Mart! We thought it was a little unusual just to see the vehicle. We are now sitting in the hotel lobby making use of the wireless and it is 11:30 PM Central time and broad daylight. They say the official sunset is 12:30ish and sunup is abou 3:30, but the hours in between are more like twilight, not dark.
Check back tomorrow to see if we strike it rich on our Gold Dredge Tour!
