7/4


Alaska Highway End

Alaska Highway End

7/4  Drove the Richardson Hwy (Rt 2) to Fairbanks; did see a moose and her calf but otherwise a rather uneventful ride. Stopped at Delta Meat & Sausage Co in Delta Junction; the owners, the McCollum family, moved from Montana and started a farm near Delta Junction and now have a USDA certified packing plant.  They produce a variety of meats and sausage so naturally we had to pick up some elk, buffalo and caribou sausages which were and are delicious. We then stopped at the Delta Junction Visitor Center to take a photo of the sign commemorating the northern end of the Alaska Highway. Continued to Fairbanks and camped at Chena River State Recreation Site, a small but nice campground on the outskirts of very smokey Fairbanks.
