Postcard Swap: Beatrix receives a card from Wren - Alaska

 

Credit: Words and photos by Beatrix.

Beatrix was so happy to get her postcard from the Isle of Wight! She went on a little trip of her own today to Pioneer Park in downtown Fairbanks, Alaska...

Bea received her postcard from Wren!

Beatrix thought she would send a postcard back to Wren and tell her about one of her favorite places in Fairbanks, Pioneer Park. A little park filled with relocated cabins from the Alaska Gold Rush days, memorials to our river boating past, and Alaska railroad memorabilia.








Bit of a balancing act here...





The restoration of this old boat taking place even as the winter starts...




The little place is affectionately nicknamed 'the pickle barrel' by locals, It hosts a once monthly art exhibition of artists from all over Alaska.

The iron raven

Each cabin from the gold rush comes with a little bit of history


Fun with an old dogsled.

Then inside to warm up with hot coco. Tomorrow she'll get her postcard in the mail to Wren. 

Wren is looking forward to receiving her card from Beatrix. :)
