Before leaving Delta Junction, we visited Rika's Roadhouse, one of the best preserved roadhouses in Alaska. It was built in 1910. In 1923 a Swedish emigrant, who had managed it since 1917, purchased the roadhouse and ran it until the late 1940's. She was a remarkable woman. It was interesting to read all she had accomplished. We drove to Fairbanks and spent the night at the Ice Park Campground, where they have ice carving competetions in the winter.
