Arguably one of the best travel channels on KZread, from one of the best personalities. Look forward to the next video!
My uncle lived in Fairbanks for over 30 yrs. He now lives in Palm Springs, California. From the ice cold to the hot desert. Thanks for showing me where my uncle lived for so long!

If he lived there in the 70's, I might know him. What's his name?

A good movie about Alaska and dealing with the midnite sun is "Insomnia', Al Pacino and Robin Williams, great thriller.
Alaska, cool 😎
Yeah Robert, the 1957 Chevy Bel Air is a beautiful work of art. A true classic!
My aunt Joan and uncle Rodney from my dad side lived up there for years and years and years! I’m glad you got up there cause I’ve heard stories! I have a picture of my uncle Rodney hunting
Your trip just keeps on looking amazing. Keep up the great work, and as always safe travels....on your return from Hershey, or wherever you are heading next.
Went to Fairbanks/North pole last February absolutely beautiful.
Cool video thanks for sharing
Yet another great film, Robert! You always entertain, inform, and never disappoint! Thank you!

It is!
Those pipes are called "utilidors". They are used for ventilation of different utilities... like, communications cables, gas lines and there's also got water pipes running before to help businesses for heating. All these utilities are routed above the permafrost.
Good over view of Fairbanks not seen in other tourist videos.
Robert and Ilia that show was so nive of Fairbanks. Thank you for sharing. Robert if i am not mistaken did i hear new music. It sounded wonderful. Your talents of photography, music production and narration is wonderful . Say hi to the Momma for us and see you soon on the highway. Thank you in gratitude. Carolyn and colin Hogarth from Osoyoos B.C. Canada
Really liked that shirt you bought!!!
That '57 Chevy had the earliest metallic paint color available at the time, for Chevy. . . just sayin'! As a kid, it was my favorite color for new '57 Chevy!
Hi Robert. wow this was the best video ever u did in Alaska. l love the parts when u visit the museum's and the Pioneer Park with those cabins lt was so vintage thats wat l like to see.

Cool stuff! Looking forward to next weeks episode
Happy birthday ILY ! Not sure if I spelled her name correctly ? LOVE the group picture at the brewery !!
Dear Robert, when you say fly pilican its like Tony Montana 😂😂😊
Wow Fairbanks and the North Pole have it going on, as far as the events, foods, activities, and museums go! With the way everyone gets together at the Midnight Festival, it looks as if everyone is having a wonderful and fun time!! Also, I like the way there are electric plugs for vehicles! The food and drinks🧊🧊 at the Breweries and restaurants that you and Illy went to looked amazing!! 🍽🍽Thanks for sharing, and see you soon!🏞
The Harding train car would be the ultimate RV!
Hope to see the Northern lights someday.
Sadly the original Masonic Temple burnt down a number of years ago. I grew up there in Fairbanks and North Pole. I also used to go to that Masonic Temple for DeMolay, which is a Masonic youth fraternity. I miss my home town after watching this video, it’s been about 8 years since I’ve been home.
Nice! Never been, so thank you for taking us along.
Did you know the largest grizzly is on display at the airport! Great footage Robert.
SOOOOOOOOO CUTE!!!!!
Ρόμπερτ! Πάντα ψυχαγωγείς, ενημερώνεις και ποτέ δεν απογοητεύεις!
Thank you for what you do Robert and stay safe !
As always, excellent video, thank you
You need to go to Manley Hot Springs Alaska....I when there in 1972....I lived in Fairbanks at that time.
We live near Fairbanks and it is a special if not ruff around the edges place.
Asito todos videos e live muito legal abraço isack pacheco nova friburgo rio de janeiro Brasil
Thanks for the ride traveling Robert and Illy;😊
That Pump House looks very interesting to visit and dine in. Thanks again for another great video!!
Nice haircut, Robert!
Was thinking he same thing about the reindeer, they look as though they need a vet. Hopefully someone saw that and sent out a rescue team!
I love these Alaskan videos!!!
That Ice Museum was really cool and the picture of you two is frame worthy!!
Good morning everyone!❤
That was such a fun and nice video! Thank Robert, that was a pure pleasure to watch! Also, happy birthday Ily!!
So much to see and do in Alaska! Thank you for the tour of Fairbanks.
Wow! Robert! I had no idea Fairbanks was such a great place to visit. What a great video. Thanks so much for doing what you two are doing!
WOW❤ well, we just came back from NYC, that was a dream coming true…and now, back honey in Germany, we just watched rhis video (sure all the others too!). Thanks Robert, you built a new dream for us: to go to Alaska, specially Fairbanks and surrounding ❤
Dalton highway. Wow, really looking forward seeing that. Incredible change of scenery, especailly Minnietinnie. From White to absolute filthy.
Hello Traveling Robert ,this was an AMAZING and OUTSTANDING experience with the sights and sounds of Fairbanks, Alaska. Absolutely AWESOME! I can't wait to see what's next. Awesome Robert!
Enjoyed the video. My brother was in the Army and was stationed in Fairbanks. He really enjoyed himself. Fairbanks is a bucket list trip for me!

Great travelogue. Love the ice martini glass, very inventive. Have to keep the walking and exercise to burn off all those calories. Too much good food.
Bon anniversaire Ily !
Another great video! Happy birthday Elly!
Alaskan place that sells ham and cheese sandwiches and rum and lime-soda cocktails... AKA a Cuban Restaurant LET'S GOOOOOO!
ЛАЙК !!! 😊👍
One of your best videos!
Awesome video, Happiest Birthday Illy! 😊
GM.ALL, Happy Bday. Illy🎂 (Ismael n Mary)
Enjoyed the video. I was in Fairbanks with my family at the same time as you were. We only had Thursday in town and spent the moving waking down and visiting the Morris Thompson center and the afternoon on the riverboat saw the Trail Breaker Kennel from the boat and visited the Chean Villag. We also stayed at the Bridge Water we had dinner at Bobby's Downtown.
❤
is nice that you visited fairbanks alaska
It never fails. You wash your truck, and it rains.
Moving dishes are probably tracking weather satellites on polar orbits.
Hi Robert! Hopefully you love Fairbanks, AK I used to live in Fairbanks for 9 years now I move back California but will be moving to Miami soon

I really like Fairbanks
Beautiful but extreme weather. Must be difficult to live there on a daily basis
Enjoyed our stay in 1999 when it was Riverview Campground. A few miles outside of Fairbanks we visited the NOAA weather station where they have huge satellite dishes to pick up weather data from the overhead satellites (the other being in VA)
Great episode, Robert 😊
I recommend you try your hand at winter and snow somewhere warmer than Alaska first. Temps below freezing are very dangerous if you are I'll prepared and Alaska should be about as harsh as it gets. They haven't had heater blocks in populated areas of eastern Canada for a while but that they still have them on the street in Alaska speak volume. Not to mention driving in snow to say nothing of towing on icy roads. Because tractor trailer operate year around in Canada, it's totally doable but it's a skill that needs to be learned. If Winnibago has winterised trailers, that would be a good choice for the next Minitini for a winter trip upstate NY (Lake Placid) or ski resorts in Vermont or Colorado. That would be a good start and open all sorts of new trips and stories which I think would make for nice videos. There definitely is a reason you hear of snowbirds but never of northern flamingos. Note: when chasing leaves in Vermont you hit yourself against tourist industry closed for the season. You would run into more of this in snowy winter lands.
Enjoyed the air museum tour. Would love to see your take on the Air Force museum in Dayton Ohio
Ooops! I meant, "The Midnight Sun🌞 Festival"!🤭
Safe travels
I WENT TO DENALI SEPTEMBER. BUT NEVER MADE IT TO FAIRBANKS. I WOULD LOVE TO DO COCHENA HOT SPRINGS WITH AUROAS OVERHEAD
Dude, you missed out on the best BBQ. Next time, you’ll want to go to Frozen Smoke BBQ in the Lat65 brewery.
Good Morning 👋🏾
Went to 6:19 Fairbanks with you Robert seen the North Pole thank you ever be able to tour Hawaii Robert later buddy ?
Oh how I remember Chena Hot Springs. I am the only Florida girl that has broken her leg on a dog sled ride there. I love Fairbanks.
The Alaska Railroad was built originally and then operated by the US Military until the 70s'. We have gone out to dinner at Big Daddy's over many visits but of late the service and servings have gone down. The food is still good but there is less of it.
