Mt. Ashland. The day before our road trip.
At last, we got connected to the Internet yesterday!
We flew from Narita to LAX and transferred to the flight to Medford, OR on May 18th.
We stayed at the place of one of our friends and got ready for the road trip to Alaska with help of our friends in Oregon.
Thanks to the friends, we succeeded in our trip to Fairbanks. And now it's time for uploading bunch of pictures taken during our trip.
Here is the pictures taken on Day 1 of our road trip to our home in Fairbanks, Alaska.
