| The two RV Gypsies
drove through several small towns on their way back towards Fairbanks because
they had to meet their daughter and grandchildren at Fairbanks Airport.
Of course they still had time to make several stops before arriving back
in Fairbanks. Karen Duquette could not resist taking photos as Lee Duquette
drove through the small towns. |

| Below is a very strange
sign with big orange colored letters that spells Wasilla.
The pale orange letters are UP ABOVE the big gray stone, and then the
words Welcomes You are under
the big gray stone ,also in pale orange letters. However, all of the words
were hard to see and it was as if the words were suspended
in air. If anyone knows what the gray part of the sign represents, let the
two RV Gypsies know. Maybe mountains and a fish ?????? Anyway, the scenery
was attractive and eye-catchingly unique. |

| Below: The photos
on this page were all taken through a closed window of the RV (the window
was not made to open) so many have a reflection, plus it was difficult to
get a proper photograph without stopping the RV. Obviously the two RV Gypsies
can not stop their big RV and toad and pull over just anyplace, and Karen
Duquette likes to entertain herself while by taking photographs while Lee
Duquette drives the big RV. |

Next,
the two RV Gypsies drove through another cute little town, called Willow,
and it had two cute coffee shops. Many of these coffee shops also sell
ice cream, as does the one in the left photo below. Karen Duquette liked
the sign "bad ass coffee." Some Alaskans told
the two RV Gypsies that Alaskans eat ice cream all year round because
it is cold in the summer, and warm in the winter. Another advantage of
spending months in Alaska via RV - instead of going on the standard cruise,
is meeting and talking to many natives. |
