We left Fairbanks after Matt had his second practice with Midnight Sun from 8 to 10am. On our way to Valdez, we stopped at North Pole and visited Santa’s house. This was the place where all the mails addressed to Santa would have mailed to.
It was a big gift shop with nothing but Christmas related stuff.
There was a Santa available for taking pictures with in the store and 4 real reindeer outside of the store. The neat thing was that we could write postcards or Christmas cards and ask the store to mail them out at Christmas time so it would appear to be a mail from Santa from North Pole.
At Delta Junction, we stopped by at a local farmer’s market and bought a reindeer sausage to try. It was mixed with beef and chicken but it still tasted drier than normal hotdog.
The scenery near Valdez on Richardson Highway was breathtaking with majestic glaciers and waterfalls.
We drove through Thompson pass which was very foggy with visibility of about two car length.
We also went really close to Wellington Glacier. There were a lot of large mosquitoes there. Matt got a big bite on his forehead. We arrived Valdez around 9:30pm. We stayed at Bear Paw RV Park which was right next to the harbor.
