Driving

Whenever you leave our place on the Denali Highway, it's a long drive to anywhere.

42 miles one way to mailbox (mail arrives our mail box just twice a week)

50 miles to the Paxson Lk house

120 miles to the bank, library, Delta greenhouse, post office, grocery store, doctor, vet, salon and favorite ice cream hot spot.
Fairbanks and Anchorage are 6-7 hr drives...Valdez is just a five hour drive.

There's little traffic on the Richardson highway which makes the trip more relaxed and enjoyable! Summer roads are typically in Good condition although road construction is prevalent in most areas of the state now thru Oct. 1st
The mountain views are always beautiful and we travel smart- armed with a variety of music, water, coffee, trail mix and sandwiches.

Today we're driving 120 miles one way for a visit to the library, the greenhouse and the grocer. Mail is in today also!

If we see a dozen vehicles, I would be surprised. I wouldn't be at all surprised if we see a handful of moose,caribou and fox scattered along the drive.

Happy driving:)
