Two RV Gypsies: Full-Time RVers

Pioneer Park - August 8, 2009

The 44-acre Pioneer Park was built for the Alaska 1967 Centennial Exposition. It was named Alaskaland, a name it held until October 2001. It is a theme park (but don't expect one like Disney!) It emphasizes historical Fairbanks as well as serving as a community park. Here the two RV Gypsies found a taste of just about everything in Alaska, from a riverboat to a salmon bake to a Native Village.

This was the second time the two RV Gypsies went to Pioneer Park, but the first time for their family. To see photos from the first visit and learn more about Pioneer Park, please visit the original web page. This page is just dedicated to photos of Karen and Lee's daughter and grandchildren enjoying Pioneer Park.

Below: Did you know that the two RV Gypsies used to be challenge level square dancers? This place was closed so they did not get to dance there.





Lee Duquette and his grandson, Alex Jones, played around while waiting for the Old-Time Photos of the family to be developed. Renee and Alex refused to be in the old-time photos, shown below.

Also at Pioneer Park was an all-you-can eat Salmon Bake; an outdoor dinner with Salmon, ribs, hot dogs, salads, coffee and desert. It was OK, but not really something this family would do again. $32 per person
