while we were in alaska i convinced everyone that we should go to fairbanks. for purely no reason other than to appease my sixteen year old 'into the wild' fan self, who wanted to follow some of christopher mccandless steps. none of these photos are from fairbanks, cause it turns out fairbanks ain't got that much to offer. however, i have zero regrets about going there because it lead us to this roadside stop on our way back to anchorage. it was beautiful and had a replica of the magic bus (around a three day hike from the original). I wanted to cry a little. sixteen year old jes’ dreams have been achieved.
