A gray wolf close to the road posed for us for a few minutes before disappearing in the trees. A rare treat!!
On the way to Healy from Fairbanks, stopped briefly at Nenana, the starting point for the historic 1925 dog sled relay over the Iditarod Trail to get diptheria serum to Nome in the middle of the winter after a serious outbreak.
Next to the visitor center at Nenana, this is the last commercial wooden tug boat that supplied the villages along the nearby Tanana River and Yukon River during summers after ice breakup. The Taku Chief began service in 1938.
