Lindsay, Tom, Roger and I drove to Fairbanks yesterday in the motor home. We were able to get our beautiful spot at the campground. After we got settled in at our spot, we left for our trip view the Alaska Pipeline and the Eldorado Gold Mine in Fox. The viewpoint of the Alaska Pipline is really well worth the stop.

After checking out all of the information about the pipeline, we headed for gold country. We went on a great tour of the Eldorodo Gold Mine.

We all found a little gold; Lindsay - $47.50, Tom - $15.50, Roger - $14.50, and Sue - $12.50. Not enough to make me want to head up to Chicken and start mining.
