Have a great trip. There is a auto museum in Fairbanks I'd love to visit. They have some very rare old cars.

I thought Mt Denali and Mt. McKinley were the same mountain.

from wikipedia Denali (/dɪˈnɑːli/)[5][6] (also known as Mount McKinley, its former official name)[7] is the highest mountain peak in North America,

Me and my wife just got back from Alaska a couple of weeks ago. Great weather and great time seeing everything. I ended up catching all the fish. First fish I had to throw back because it was to big. You can only keep fish 36" or under on that part of the Kenai river. The next day, we fished a different part of the river and I caught the 30 pounder i'm holding up.

We were there 1st of July.90 degrees and so many fires you could not see much. The fishing was still good. You could nt pay me to take that bus trip through Denali again.

The TV show "Dr. Dee Alaskan Vet" is in Fairbanks. She will go out on a farm call often. The country up there is beautiful and very green in the Summer. The farmers or ranchers have very healthy looking livestock No one ever explains how the cattle etc survive the harsh winters. -40 is not uncommon in the winter.

Got some VERY healthy Mosquito's too......My late SIL was stationed at Eilsen (sp.) AFB south of Fairbanks and my sister worked at Ft Wainwright until he retired. I spent a few months in North Pole where they lived, back in late 88'. Great in the Winter time. Mt. McKinley was something to see as we flew right close to it going to Fairbanks from Anchorage. Have a safe & fun trip.
