First thing today we headed downtown Fairbanks to check out the riverfront park near the visitors center. We took the obligatory picture in front of the Antler arch pergola. After the park we headed toward the farmers market. Along the way we stopped by a local sporting goods and hardware store called Frontier Outfitters. The store was really nice and fun to browse. Continuing on to the farmers market, we arrived about noon. We got lucky and scored a close parking spot. The market wasn’t really large but we enjoyed it. We ate local market grilled chicken and grilled corn. It was really tasty. The weather today was 69F with occasional short and light showers. On the way back to the coach we decided to cruise the Fairbanks airport. The Fairbanks airport is interesting to because it is really four different airports. One is the international commercial airport, the second is a long “pond” used as a float plane runway, the third is a small airplane paved runway, and the fourth is a snow-ski runway. The snow-ski runway is for winter operations and not used in the summer. The airport includes a camping area for small airplanes to park and camp. I really enjoyed seeing the float planes and bush planes.
