@CuriousLoner, Fairbanks is about 300 miles from where I live, but I have been there. Fairbanks is super cold in the winter, and super hot in the summer. From what I’ve seen no one knows how to drive, and some of the people are kind of crazy. Haha.
Every time I go there everyone stresses “lock the car door” “hide anything of value.” when you go in anywhere. I guess people break windows if they want to steal your purse while you’re inside. I’ve never seen it happen, but people that live there say it does. Just to be on the safe side. :)
I’ve never been to Fort wainwright though. So I don’t have too much to say about it. Alaska is bipolar, so brink warm clothing, and cool clothing. :)
