    Roger I think that I explained it to you and hopefully your disgust with my typing/keyboard won't be the driving factor that causes my permanent departure from this site.


    Now, besides that thought- around Fairbanks, they drive on the river during the winter-lot smoother and more level than all the slippery slopes and less traffic. Plus all the parking places have extension cords for your block heaters--also farthest north Denny's restaurant and farthest north ski slope plus lots of dog sledding

    Jerry, I'm not disgusted in any way, more amazed..... continually amazed.

    I was hoping he'd answer about driving on the frozen river! I have a feeling that it would be a great experience, I imagine it's just as tough to get going as it is to stop.?

    Back in my flying days, I loved the Alaska trips--25 & 49 hour layovers(depending on day of week--flight didn't operate on some days so layover would be 49 hours til next turn around. In the winter, the drivers from the hotel would take us to eating places and many times it was via the river. there were turn off ramps from the road down to the water(ice) like for boat launch-
    Oh the salmon and blue berry short cake!!!!!!!!!(warmer season) salmon cooked over open fire at out door eating places------and the midnight softball leagues

    Sounds like fun times.. good food, during down times with low stress levels. LOL

    I kinda figured there'd be some high speed attempts across the ice. O'well.
