Fairbanks to Nenana

Leaving Fairbanks it doesn't take very long before your smack in the middle of nowhere again. There is one thing about the road between Fairbanks and Anchorage...you become aware that Alaska has a lot of trees.

We once took an Alaska Railroad trip from Anchorage to Denali. One of the tourists on the trip kept saying "man there's a lot of trees" "Alaska sure has trees". We couldn't help but agree, and probably take them for granted. We were laughing about it the entire trip.

About 30 miles outside of Nenana there is a little place to stop. It's sits half way between Nenana and Fairbanks and it's owned by a skinny little guy named Dick. Google for their website if your looking for interesting gag gifts. I'd link to it but I'm trying to keep the blog at minimum at a PG rating. I don't know how long Dick's Inn has been there but the website says it's been there almost forever.
