The two RV Gypsies' RV was in repair in Fairbanks, Alaska. So as they traveled in a rental car around Alaska with some family members, and they stayed in hotels and lodges. What a bummer!

The two RV Gypsies and Karen Duquette's sister, Ilse Blahak, liked their 2nd floor accommodations. (see the 3 photos below). Renee and John Smythers hated their 1st floor accommodations because they had SPIDERS everywhere, and their shower barely worked. They talked to the lady in the office about it and the lady said, "This is Alaska. There are spiders everywhere, so deal with it." (Yet, this was the one and only place the two RV Gypsies ever encountered spiders in Alaska). Renee and John slept in the car.

Note: The Fox Run Campground had a sign saying the place was for sale. The restaurant had limited menu and high prices. The two RV Gypsies did not eat there. No TV. No Wi-Fi.

Karen Duquette planned on swimming in this lake after returning from their scheduled ATV ride, but due to her serious ATV accident, she never got to swim in the lake. She had all she could handle to continue their planned adventures with family. She was just thankful she did not die in the accident.

Next door to the Fox Run Campground, there was a coffee storage house with interesting signs.
