Trip to Fairbanks AK

I got the pleasure of traveling to Fairbanks Alaska to visit a gold mine who is a customer of ours. I also got to go in November when it was still "warm" 4 degrees in the city and 17 at the mine. Here are some pics

Snow plows on the runway what did I get myself into?

Loading the trucks

The gold dirt goes in, this huge dirt pile at least 10 stories high.

The clean dirt with no gold comes out

After a hard days work we had to eat. We enjoyed prime rib at The Turtle Club. This was the medium 14 oz prime rib dinner and yes I ate most of it.


Where am I again?

Alaska Pipeline. It was kind of a let down.

I made it to North Pole Alaska

Starting to carve the ice sculptures for the World Ice Carving championships in March. Maybe I can come back and see them and enjoy the cold weather of -40 degrees.
