On Thursday, we had a free day (nothing scheduled by Fantasy) -- we looked forward to getting some things done that we'd been putting off!
We headed out to do some shopping.
 |
We had been seeing these long gravel hauling trucks...
|
 |
Our bus driving in Fairbanks told us that they are the trucks hauling dirt containing gold ore and carrying to a place where the gold can be processed.
|
 |
You can see that there are some axles with smaller wheels -- those are not always in use...
|
 |
We thought that the larger wheels were duals, but at least some of them are singles, maybe super singles.
|
 |
A truck coming from the opposite direction with the smaller wheels lifted -- so it must not be loaded.
|
 |
We got to Costco and did some shopping...
|
 |
... then to Walmart for some more shopping.
|
We also wanted to get some post card stamps at the post office -- we looked up one on the Garmin and it ended up being on the Fort Wainwright Army base -- I explained to the guy at the gate that we were lost and looking for a post office... he was not amused, but got us turned around and we found another post office!
We also did some cooking -- spaghetti with meat sauce, sausage gravy and biscuits -- with leftovers so we'd have meals for upcoming days.
