Started the daywith the idea of fishing but we ended up at Lowes to purchase a piece of mirror to replace the mirror that didn't survive the Yukon roads.
After returning to the trailer to make sure that the back roads we were no doubt going to find ourselves on today didn't claim it before it was installed.
We headed out to fish the Chena River outside the Fairbanks city limits. The only problem is there is no public access to the Chena River. Following the river we ended up at the main gate of Fort Wainwright Army airfield. We weren't welcome and had to be escorted while making a u-turn.
We alter our route and continued on only to find another gate to the Fort. We ended up getting back on highway to get around the Fort. Continued our search for a fishing spot. We did find the Chena River Recreation Area on a street corner and a couple of spot that we could cast from. After an hour we gave up and headed on. We came across a Dam but no water. It was a flood control levy that took us 56 stairs to reach the top to find do water on either side. It ran for miles.
At the end we did find a very lovely recreation area with a beautiful river.
Still no fish...😩
On the way back we found ourselves on the campus of the University of Alaska, Fairbanks. We stopped at a museum but it was close to closing time so we visited a couple displays near the parking lot and head back to the trailer.
