On The River In Fairbanks

The Riverboat Discovery Tour was a nice little 3 1/2 hour trip on the river.

We saw how pilots up and down the river use it for take-off and landing.

We enjoyed looking at all the different real-estate up and down the river

We saw a demonstration of pups learning the ropes.  I’m confident they will make a great dog sled team this winter.  They pulled this gentleman (motor was taken out) for one huge loop.  It was a lot of fun to watch.

There they are taking off.  Hard to describe in the pic but they went all the way around that pond and back.

Coming up on a fish camp – cool stuff

And passed by the prettiest flower pots on this porch.

Soon our little tour up the river ended and our tummies were hungry for dinner.  So happy Dan and Rita knew just the place to take us.

Loved the use of this old contraption just outside the front door

Salmon was one of the things I wanted on this trip.  Somehow our trip to Alaska would not be complete without it.

The tough decision for me was between the garlic mashed potatoes and fries.  I was told the fries here were amazing but, but, but…I could begin to stutter at this point as there was such a beautiful ring to garlic mashed potatoes with my salmon dish.  No regrets.

Everyone’s dish looked equally amazing and the desert was delish too!

There’s something to be said about quality time with family and this was one of those evenings.

I still have lots of pictures to leaf through and at least two more Alaska blogs to follow.

To be continued…

  1. Wow Linda! So happy you found me again!!! How cool your mom was there at the time we were. Hubby and I keep thinking we need to go there one summer to “work” and take it all in as much as possible. Perhaps after we retire we can just go up and spend all summer there…It’s fun to dream…
