The weather was great for a scenic drive down the Richardson Highway from Fairbanks to mile 200 where we camped.
A butterfly that finally landed so we could take its picture:
The pipeline bridge:
About anything in fur, including a bikini:
We could see some of the Alaska Range:
At one stop a fellow traveler wanted his picture taken and reciprocated for us:

The red arrow shows the Black Rapids Glacier from near the bison sign:

Soon after Rainbow Ridge we drove the 1-1/2 mile gravel road at milepost 200 to Fielding Lake State Recreation Area where we could camp for free.
