Fairbanks, Gold Panning, & the Pipeline
You know you're way up north when you have to go south to reach the North Pole.
The view outside our hotel room: the Chena River. (click to greatly embiggenate)
Panning for gold at the El Dorado Mine, north of Fairbanks. They remove about $3 million/day. We didn't get quite that much.
