They did a reality TV show call "Goldfathers" some of you may remember. They were very sweet and had just opened for business. They were getting their place antiquated with rustic gold mining equipment and it was very interesting. They even had a pink outhouse. We did well panning there. If you are ever in Fairbanks, it is worth the stop. It is right across the street from the famous Alaskan Pipeline.
We went out to a public area that was free but the whole area had been worked and tailing piles a story high lined the roads so we didn't do well there.
We visited Pioneer Park and some museums and had a great time in Fairbanks. I have to warn you. Looking at Fairbanks on the map from Anchorage looks like a hop skip and a jump. I think Google maps said 5 hours. They lied. With road construction, I would say a good 7 hour trip. Denali makes it a beautiful drive though.
