I will write the how story soon, but I had to let it be known that I had a blast in Fairbanks Alaska. I know that it is not much to look at, there is not much to do, it has lots of foul weather (home of the 40-50 below) and the downtown is (in short) pathetic. BUT - I got lucky, the weather kicked into gear when I was there. I met some really nice people and was "shown the town".
The highlight of the trip was my version of Ice Road Truckers, Spring Edition. With a new friend, I traveled up the Dalton Highway past the official Arctic Cicle line. Honestly, it did not look like anything I was expecting. With the Black Spruce and Aspen trees, the fire damage and the wildlife, it had lots in common the with the upper Rocky Mountains of Colorado.
I have lots of stories and pictures to share... stay tuned for typical Janine travel craziness.
I just could not wait to get that off my chest!!!
On the final leg in my quest to see all the states in the United States (and many US territories). Now, starting a new quest to explore Canada, our neighbor to the north. This blog chronicles my adventures with pictures & stories to hopefully inspire others to find the fun and explore.
Mission
MISSION: To visit every state and territory in the U.S. For my mission a visit is greater than a stop over; I wish to explore the natural and cultural environments of these areas. Each of these locations has a story to tell, and I want to find it.
As of February 2018 I have visited all 50 states (and Puerto Rico and 2 island in the US Virgin Islands) at least once.
