We arrived in Fairbanks mid-morning today and got settled in the River's Edge Campground after buying fuel and groceries. On the trip to Fairbanks we saw portions of the Alaskan Pipeline and passed through some of Eielson Air Force Base.

| A PORTION OF THE ALASKAN PIPELINE |
I've been asked about fuel availability and cost. When away from larger towns after leaving the "lower 48" fuel is available about every 200 miles at Mom and Pop businesses typically with two pumps or even an above ground tank. You really can't price shop and just have to pay the high prices. I've listed our diesel fuel stops with prices below; the Canadian prices are reflected in US dollars computed after the transactions were debited on our electronic banking site and include the currency exchange rate and debit card transaction fees.
