Tok AK to Fairbanks AK

I stayed at the Tok RV Village for one night.  It gave me a chance to do laundry and get a shower.  The shower felt so good. 

I was able to dump the waste tanks, get fresh water and charge the batteries using shore power.  I pulled out the next morning and headed toward Fairbanks.  As I was leaving, I noticed that a couple I met in one of the provincial campgrounds were there.  A text later that day revealed they arrived late the night before due to construction delays, so they slept in to get some rest. 

I drove through Eielson Air Force Base.  There were a number of larger planes parked along the runway.  It was neat to hear fighter jets take off next to you and see them disappear in the distance. 

I stopped at North Pole to visit the Santa House.  The street light poles are wrapped as candy canes.  Santa House was closing as I arrived.  I still got out and walked around the buildings.  There is a huge statue of Santa checking his list, so I had to take a picture.  From there it was only a short distance to Fairbanks.
