Fairbanks to Wasilla

We  left Fairbanks and checked out of Sven's Base Camp.  Definely a fun place.  It is a camping, hostel, and escape from the regular.  Sugar had 4 dogs to play with.  The aussie shepard left a  lot of nips on her neck.but a tongue dragging day, everyday.. got to swim in the Chena River and hang out with a bunch of Europeans and  Canadians.. great group.. I posted pictures on the facebook page.

Yes, alternative accomodations at Sven's Base Camp.. he came in 14th in this years Iditarod Dog Sled Race.  The owner, a genuine dog person and musher. He is Swiss.  It was an adventure sleeping in a yurt/teepee/trail tent.   I liked the sharing part too. Common showers, toilets, and kitchen.

It was sunny and nice the whole time there..  anyway now off to

Nenana City.. the Ice Classic Town.  My Mom always would buy a ticket!

Parks Highway.. big sky.

We drove on.. and could not find any accommodation near the Park... so we drove on..and on.. I did not plan to ride that far.

We finally, at the end of a long day on the road ended at Wasilla.. we checked Cantwell, Huston, Talkeetna.. no rooms at the inn.  

It is great weather and everyone is on vacation.. we check in Wasilla and we were alerted to a beach cottage

if it was acceptable.. we took and and it is totally great..  Tomarrow, we head to Anchorage.. and it looks good for me to accomplish the Wasilla, Palmer and Eagle River Clubs this week.
