My uncle lived in Fairbanks for over 30 yrs. He now lives in Palm Springs, California. From the ice cold to the hot desert. Thanks for showing me where my uncle lived for so long!
That '57 Chevy had the earliest metallic paint color available at the time, for Chevy. . . just sayin'! As a kid, it was my favorite color for new '57 Chevy!
Your trip just keeps on looking amazing. Keep up the great work, and as always safe travels....on your return from Hershey, or wherever you are heading next.
Those pipes are called "utilidors". They are used for ventilation of different utilities... like, communications cables, gas lines and there's also got water pipes running before to help businesses for heating. All these utilities are routed above the permafrost.
My aunt Joan and uncle Rodney from my dad side lived up there for years and years and years! I’m glad you got up there cause I’ve heard stories! I have a picture of my uncle Rodney hunting
Sadly the original Masonic Temple burnt down a number of years ago. I grew up there in Fairbanks and North Pole. I also used to go to that Masonic Temple for DeMolay, which is a Masonic youth fraternity. I miss my home town after watching this video, it’s been about 8 years since I’ve been home.
Hi Robert. wow this was the best video ever u did in Alaska. l love the parts when u visit the museum's and the Pioneer Park with those cabins lt was so vintage thats wat l like to see.

Happy Birthday Elly hope u had fun. Nice work. 😎👍
Great video! Loved seeing the car show. My dad had a 57 Chevy Belair that I remember as a little girl. Great car. Love the scenery in Alaska and all the points of interest you captured.
Wow Fairbanks and the North Pole have it going on, as far as the events, foods, activities, and museums go! With the way everyone gets together at the Midnight Festival, it looks as if everyone is having a wonderful and fun time!! Also, I like the way there are electric plugs for vehicles! The food and drinks🧊🧊 at the Breweries and restaurants that you and Illy went to looked amazing!! 🍽🍽Thanks for sharing, and see you soon!🏞
Have to agree with you. I lived just outside Fairbanks for a short while as a child, many years ago. I still have vivid memories of dirt roads, mud, pot holes, tremors every single evening, dangerous wildlife, and the all around dismal time there. I do recall the mountains were beautiful, but not enough to ever make me want to return. ha! Still, I do love watching Robert's adventures, and really appreciate each video, even when it's not in one of my favorite places! :)
@@Keith_Graham I appreciate his videos, I love his videos. It’s something about a cold place that makes me feel that way. I used to lived in Rochester ny and Chicago and it was so cold that it makes me feel cold. Hahahha so we are moving to North Carolina now so I’m sure I’m going to love it. Right now I live in Tennessee for almost a year. Thank you for your comments, I appreciate that too.
Robert and Ilia that show was so nive of Fairbanks. Thank you for sharing. Robert if i am not mistaken did i hear new music. It sounded wonderful. Your talents of photography, music production and narration is wonderful . Say hi to the Momma for us and see you soon on the highway. Thank you in gratitude.

I recommend you try your hand at winter and snow somewhere warmer than Alaska first. Temps below freezing are very dangerous if you are I'll prepared and Alaska should be about as harsh as it gets. They haven't had heater blocks in populated areas of eastern Canada for a while but that they still have them on the street in Alaska speak volume. Not to mention driving in snow to say nothing of towing on icy roads. Because tractor trailer operate year around in Canada, it's totally doable but it's a skill that needs to be learned. If Winnibago has winterised trailers, that would be a good choice for the next Minitini for a winter trip upstate NY (Lake Placid) or ski resorts in Vermont or Colorado. That would be a good start and open all sorts of new trips and stories which I think would make for nice videos. There definitely is a reason you hear of snowbirds but never of northern flamingos. Note: when chasing leaves in Vermont you hit yourself against tourist industry closed for the season. You would run into more of this in snowy winter lands.
Great travelogue. Love the ice martini glass, very inventive. Have to keep the walking and exercise to burn off all those calories. Too much good food.
Thank you Robert, missed Ily s birthday. This episode is one of the best.....i learn so much with you .... One day i hope to follow your paths...i Dream... Pat from Normandy
Please Robert, let me ask you. What's the sensation of being in Alaska, for example, knowing the russians are in the Arctic waters too with their nuke submarines. In your opinion, do you really see any possible risk of starting a 3rd World war between these two superpowers countries? This scare, for any reason, the American people? Your videos, as always, are wonderful! Eight degrees in Fairbanks and you wearing T-shirt? Are you kidding guy? I really liked of the "Havana Nights, in Fairbanks" (lol) Greetings from São Paulo,🇧🇷
WOW❤ well, we just came back from NYC, that was a dream coming true…and now, back honey in Germany, we just watched rhis video (sure all the others too!). Thanks Robert, you built a new dream for us: to go to Alaska, specially Fairbanks and surrounding ❤
It came with solid steps that took too much room, were heavy, and needed to be readjusted every time. We found this solution to be more practical for the trip ahead..... and it was
Hello Traveling Robert ,this was an AMAZING and OUTSTANDING experience with the sights and sounds of Fairbanks, Alaska. Absolutely AWESOME! I can't wait to see what's next. Awesome Robert!
Enjoyed our stay in 1999 when it was Riverview Campground. A few miles outside of Fairbanks we visited the NOAA weather station where they have huge satellite dishes to pick up weather data from the overhead satellites (the other being in VA)
The Alaska Railroad was built originally and then operated by the US Military until the 70s'. We have gone out to dinner at Big Daddy's over many visits but of late the service and servings have gone down. The food is still good but there is less of it.
Enjoyed the video. I was in Fairbanks with my family at the same time as you were. We only had Thursday in town and spent the moving waking down and visiting the Morris Thompson center and the afternoon on the riverboat saw the Trail Breaker Kennel from the boat and visited the Chean Villag. We also stayed at the Bridge Water we had dinner at Bobby's Downtown.
