Today we drove through Salcha. This is an unincorporated town of 995 residents that extends along the highway for 12 miles. Because there are few interior roads, they construct all their homes and businesses along the highway. Thus the town stretches for many miles. We have encountered a few other towns like it. Salcha was having a fair, and they had signs along the road for 17 miles advertising it. We have not seen many moose. This one tried to hide from us. We also drove into the town of North Pole. This large Santa was outside the Santa Claus house, where they sold all sorts of Christmas items. Santa had the day off, so we didn't get to talk to him. Otherwise we would include a picture of the "real" Santa.
