Rest & Recuperation, Dirty Laundry & Wally World

The guys slept in till 7am and awoke rested and refreshed in
Fairbanks. It was quickly decided that a day of relaxation and reorganizing was in order. Dirty laundry was dropped off at B&C Laundromat and Sarah the attendant did all the men's dirty clothes for $20. Thanks Sarah!
After breakfast at Denny's they went to the airport and viewed the water landing strip better known as the "float pond". While there they were suddenly engulfed by a swarm of huge mosquitoes. Glad the windows were up on the rental car! The men then got the "Last Chance" over to the fuel pump and refueled for tomorrow's planned departure for Talkeeton Alaska at 8am.
A trip to Walmart for fishing licenses and mosquito head nets was next on the list. Rich had been calling Christian churches and finally was able to set up a meeting at Brewsters with Erik Dickerson Minister of the "Journey" Christian church in Fairbanks. They all enjoyed drinks and discussion before Erik had to rush off for an appointment. Thanks Erik for your time and we will be in touch.
Next Rich spoke with Paul Worsham in Ambler Alaska by cell phone. Paul was excited to share with Rich his work among the Inupaiq indians 50 miles north of the Artic circle. Ambler is 280 air miles northwest of Fairbanks and the men decided it was too far to tackle with the "Last Chance" on this trip. Paul indicated that someone with Rich's abilities and an airplane is sorely needed there in Ambler so this was a very promising contact.
They guys enjoyed a great supper at Brewsters again and retired for more blogging and rest at the Motel. Stay tuned for tomorrow!
