Here we come Fairbanks! Oh no... let's leave.


We stayed at Cathedral Creeks Bed and Breakfast outside Tok, AK where wildfires continued to threaten our stay. In their backyard was the old Alaskan Highway. Here, Chris is walking with our new friends: Sally the dog and Tiger the cat.

*Cue ominous music*
The stucco building in the back - that is about to cave into the earth - is where we stayed in Fairbanks, AK. After searching for a place for hours we ended up at Seven Gables Inn. The manager was probably a child molester, we were housed next to a crack dealer, and we feared for our life on extremely questionable sheets. Hence, our short stay in Fair.. err, I mean Ghettobanks. For further reading on the hilarious, awfulness of Seven Gables Inn consult: http://www.tripadvisor.com/Hotel_Review-g60826-d72242-Reviews-Seven_Gables_Inn-Fairbanks_Alaska.html. (We should of read this before we booked our room.)

This cow moose and her calf decided to find safety from a grizzly bear next to our campsite in Denali National Park. They were so close it gave us moosebumps.

On our hiking trip in Denali. A perfect place to peer through the trees.

On the way to Girdwood, AK (our summer home!). Irresistible Turnagain Arm!

  2. Hey guys,

    great pictures here!
    Alaska sure was nice, and hanging around with you made it even better. Good luck for the rest of the trip! Who knows, maybe we'll run into each other at some other remote location :)

    Just got home a couple of days ago. I will share pictures as soon as I upload them to my computer. Take good care,

    Fadi
