Thanksgiving Holiday, 2022 -- Fairbanks Alaska -- Part 13 - Tuesday, 11/22 - Skis & Costco

Went to the local ski rental place to rent some cross-country skis.

We're going to try it tomorrow.

The rental place is near a ski stadium and trails.

The guy at the rental place recommended going there to try the "green" (beginner) trails.

Went to Costco for some stuff.

Noticed the they sold local (Alaskan) dried salmon.

It's too much for us to buy and try for the short time we're there.

Snow shoes.

Micro-spikes for icy conditions (they go over your shoes).

Thought about buying some but don't know when/if I'll ever use them...

Wow.  Incredibly ugly front end.

The grille is just too much...

This rear design is OK.

Quite a color on the RX.

Thanksgiving Holiday, 2022 -- Fairbanks Alaska -- Part 12 - Tuesday, 11/22 - Hike

Went for a hike near the University of Alaska campus.

There's a lot of cross-country skiing trails around the campus.

This frozen lake is near the campus and there were several people doing laps around the groomed track around the edge of the lake on skis.

Hard to see, but there's someone skiing on the other side of the lake.

The new Nissan Nivera EV looks OK but not that forward looking...

Armada.

New Honda Pilot.

Accord hatchback.

Dinky model (I have one that CS restored).

The company was started over 100 years ago.

Interesting how it's constructed...
