Touring Fairbanks with Grandma & Grandpa






Their first week here we went to the Elderado Gold Mine and on a Riverboat tour. Both were wonderful. We got to pan for gold!! The gold we found they weighed it and put it into a necklace for us!! When we were on the boat we stopped by a native indian reservation and got a tour there too!!! It was interesting!!! A native here has her handy work of a native coat on display at the Smithsonian in Wash. D.C.!! It's made with moose leather and caribou fur and bones w/ bead decor too. They take about 6 months to make ONE and sell for about $60,000!!! Enjoy the pics!!
