First 3 weeks

Well, a lot has happened in the last 3 weeks. Drove from Provo to seattle, flew from seattle to fairbanks, got a rundown place at the Anderson's, saw a fight, had a native offer me a drink, toured the interior of alaska for a week, saw black bear, moose, bald eagles, wolves, reindeer, tundra wookies, and hours of beautiful scenery, started training for the st george marathon, left a guy at the canadian border, learned all you could ever want to know about fairbanks, got my first tips, got assigned to the taylor highway to Eagle, got locked out of my apartment (my key I got made didnt fit), made tons of new friends, laughed, yawned, ate out alot, and slept a little. Its been a riot! I will try and keep this updated more often than every 3 weeks...

Wow, I never had this much fun on a summer job! Is it turning out as lucrative as you hoped? (not spending it all on eating out and having fun with all those new friends?)

Ok, I found Eagle (took me two tries) and their website - looks like an interesting litle town to visit. Do you just go Fairbanks to Eagle and back or do you side trip to Dawson? (I'm not sure which would be the side trip) do you take a full big bus? How often do you go? Do you spend the night in Eagle or is it just a day trip? (You should never have said anything about me asking questions).

Wow, Adam! You have seen more animals than you told us about! You forgot the coyote. Thanks for starting the blog---it is great.
