If everything goes our way, in a BIG way, I'd like to make a trip to Fairbanks in July/Aug to see the base camp and meet the fellas.

If I do, or anyone else does same, suggest Sophie's Station. Rooms are all suites, shopping etc in immediate area, and close the the university.

Stayed there a few times.

Great restaurant too.

Bartender is named Joe...been there 20+ years, assuming he's still there.
