It was a beautiful day today. We wandered around doing "touristy" things in the morning. Went to the new visitor's center, stopped at the unofficial end of the Alaska highway, had lunch at Soapy Smith's, did some laundry and ended the day at McCafferty's, a coffee shop owned by a classmate of mine (Class of '62, Lathrop High School, Fairbanks).
Today's Pics:
Favorite sign of the day outside the Yukon Quest office and gift shop. Be sure to click on it so you can read the small print.

Click on this one too. This autographed article (from the Fairbanks Daily News Miner) about John Stockton was on the wall of Soapy Smith's, a restaurant owned by Nick Stepovich. I knew John had married a Stepovich (an old Fairbanks family), so I should not have been surprised. Zags are everywhere! I was talking to a classmate of mine, also connected to the Stepovich's. His daughter graduated from Gonzaga 5 years ago--he said he never had trouble getting tickets to games when he was in Spokane---I am so jealous!
McCafferty's: Every Friday and Saturday my classmate June and her husband Bill (on the left) and their group Sand Castle play and sing at the coffee shop and we try to hear them at least once while we are there. Great coffee shop, great music, I recommend it if you ever get to Fairbanks. Try June's special Mexican sipping chocolate with cayenne pepper--rich and wonderful!
