FIRES!!

Polar bear, trout and flying squirrel at the gift shop.







Fires at two separate locations. Two of many in the interior of Alaska. They are issuing smoke warnings for the end of the week in Fairbanks.






We travelled today along some amazingly beautiful roads. Spectacular views marred by the many wild fires that are still burning here in Alaska. We saw three or four in our travels today. We stopped at a gift shop on the way. Quite unique. It had many stuffed local animals with a selection of Alaska gifts and Native art work for sale. A beautiful vegetable garden out front and many flowers all over the place.

The furry fish is freaky! Is it really true? Or a hoax, like the "jackalope" here in Michigan?
