While waiting for church to start we walked around the Visitor Center. We found this arch of moose antlers which reminded us of a similar arch in Jackson Hole, WY of elk antlers.
We then went to see Santa at the North Pole. Santa was apparently taking some time off until the evening so we didn’t get to take a picture of him. We did see the reindeer around their feeding time – didn’t look like Rudolph was around though.
As it was raining most of the day, we thought it would be a good time to take in the museum at the university which had been highly recommended. We spent a couple of hours there and enjoyed the visit. Paige enjoyed seeing the exhibits about the people and how they endured the hardships of this terrain and the extreme weather conditions. Makes the road conditions on the Top of the World highway seem trivial! They had an exhibit of art in one area with this deluxe outhouse which Bob tried out:
We ended the day by going north a little bit to the Silver Gulch restaurant in Fox, AK. This was featured on Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives and was very good! They have their own micro brewery with some very unique blends of beers. Paige had a cranberry beer. It was also a very pretty drive and when we got done eating, the sun was peeking out between the clouds. The day is ending with an almost totally blue sky and it's warmed up again to the 70's.
Tomorrow we have more tourist stops planned. Hope the weather remains dry as we have reservations on a tour boat.
