We’re getting settled here at Camp Li-Wa. It was our first full day and we spent part of it getting the lay of the land around Fairbanks. After weeks on the road where the average town had a gas station and a campground, it seems crazy to be able to shop at Home Depot, Lowes, Wal-Mart, Fred Meyers ,and Safeway almost from the same parking lot! We checked out the local farmer’s market – lots of beautiful Alaskan crafts, home grown goodies, and wonderful baked goods.

Before

After (We went for the cranberry-orange one! Yummmmmmm…..)
While the guys were checking out the Home Depot, we ladies located a couple quilt shops in the area –

And then we returned home to get laundry done, wash the road dirt off of the trucks and RV’s and get some group haircuts!

No pictures of ribbons of roads and spectacular snow capped mountains today – we are happy to be catching up with chores and exploring this area.

It is good to be still.
