Goodbye Dawson City<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Wow! Stepping into the 1890\u2019s and right back out again to a modern city in Fairbanks, AK. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

AirNorth only Jet on the runway<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This was the last time going thru customs and using passports. The 45 min flight was quick and punctual unlike the flights that challenged us on the front end of our trip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Arrived so early that we had to day check our bag and find something to do. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

First stop is donuts. Walked here from the hotel and these donuts at \u201cThe Donut Shop\u201d took us all the way back to Point Pleasant. Baby Soft Angel pillows perfectly sugared. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now what? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Uber to the Alaska University<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The high today is 81 and breezy. Googling info about the northern lights we found ourselves at the University of Alaska\u2019s museum of natural history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meet OTTO. Otto is a 1250 lb Grizzly bear. They can get up to 1400 lbs. We sat next to a Canadian couple at Diamond Tooth Gertie\u2019s. They just came from Denali which is where we are going. They came too close to an encounter with a momma Grizzly and two cubs. I saw the picture. NOPE! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We saw the Dynamic Aurora film and many other wonderful pieces of art, northern animals, birds, and cultural artifacts. It was a good day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Puffins have always been on my favorite sea bird list. Tried to see them off the coast of Maine back in 2000 but only saw a whale dorsal fin. Not this time either but still love the look of them. I left my artwork to share with others. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now for a nap! dmc<\/p>\n\n\n\n

June 8th travel: about one hour on a chartered 737 from Dawson City YT to Fairbanks AK.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
