Fairbanks, AK

After Homer we flew to Fairbanks. In Fairbanks we saw the Alaskan Pipeline that is mainly underground but it also is found above ground. It was very cool to see. We also got to pan for gold. I totally understand the gold rush now. It took 15 minutes and I was able to pan $50 worth of gold. We were able to see a native village and learn about their life. We saw a plane land and take off from the river. Learned that Fairbanks can get 90 degrees in the summer and 60 below in the winter. Enjoy the pictures!!!

Day 3 and 4 Still in Homer

We were able to get the full tour of Homer by cruising the town and by 4-wheeling. We had beautiful weather and yet everything was muddy. Which made 4-wheeling a blast. We were able to get good pictures of glaciers, moose, and some adult and juvenile bald eagles. This first moose is probably one of the ones that like to eat my Aunt's peas.

Yes I have more flower pictures :)

At first we thought this was a golden eagle but then realized that it was a juvenile bald eagle.

MUDDY!!!!!!

This was a picture of the group before we got muddy

If you see that most of this sand looks black it is because it is. It is coal that washes up on shore.
