Alaskan Vacation : Thursday. June 27

Haven't done much today. We did move to a different campground only about 15 miles north of Fairbanks. We want to drive up the Dalton Hwy (haul road that the ice road truckers use) tomorrow and this is on our way. If we can, we want to try and make it to to Cold foot, or at least to the Arctic circle. That's a 115 miles, but we are not sure about the road.

One of the reasons that we haven't done much today is because we are waiting for a locksmith to come out and unlock our truck. Kind of scary as we are kind of out in the boonies. We got the RV parked and when we got out, somehow the truck got locked. Buck did have his cell phone in his pocket but we only have 1 bar. He tried to use a wire for at least an hour. Then tried calling Good Sam, after several tries of calls being dropped he was finally able to communicate enough for them to find out where we are and send a locksmith out. In fact he just got here. What a relief!! I bet we won't do that again. We're not sure which one of us did it, so we couldn't even yell at each other.

We are parked by a lake that has been stocked with fish, so Buck is going to do some fishing now that he is able to get his new fishing hooks out of the truck. Haha
