University of Alaska Farm

We spent quite a bit of time at the University of Alaska Fairbanks; a beautiful sprawling, modern, hilltop campus. The campus looks down on the city and Mt. McKinley is supposed to be viewable from it, we didn’t see it. The hazy smoke from forest fires always interfered. One evening we went up to the Botanical Gardens which is also an agricultural research station. On another day we spent several hours in their Museum of the North.
