(L to R) Nick, Todd, Mark, and Nancy geek out in their Best Western hotel room in Fairbanks. Today was a work day, so the team put in some quality time behind the screens.

Notes: We were planning on heading southeast to the city of Tok today, but administrative needs dictated that we spend a day here in Fairbanks working on some sponsorship deliverables, etc. So, we hung out in Alaska’s second-largest city and got some things done. We also stopped in at Alaska’s largest and “most interesting” pawn shop, where a few choice purchases were made. Adam got a CD player, and Nancy bought what most Marines/Texans would buy at a pawn shop…
Tomorrow, we have a very long day of driving (about 600 miles) to reach the town of Whitehorse in Canada. Should be fun! | ||
Help support our cause: The LONGITUDE Expedition is the longest journey ever attempted with a focus on Parkinson's Disease. The Drive Around the World team aims to raise money for Parkinson’s Disease research by driving four Certified, Pre-Owned Land Rover Discoverys around the globe following lines of longitude. Readers are encouraged to pledge small amounts of money per expedition-kilometer via a pledge form that can be found on our Parkinson’s page by clicking HERE. One hundred percent of donations received go directly to Parkinson's research, and all who donate $10 or more will be entered into a raffle to win an expedition-equipped Land Rover Discovery.
