MORE FAIRBANKS

Gold Dredge 8 was a working gold mine.  Still has gold but not cost effective to run anymore so they do panning tours.  Gold guaranteed!!!!  Between us we found 19.00 worth of gold flecks.
They talked about the Alaska Pipeline and showed a display of workings.
The pipeline is actually here and layed in a zigzag pattern.  It did not falter in the earthquake!!

 Boarded a train to see old equipment and learn to pan.
