Drive out to the Chena River, northeast of Fairbanks. The Chena provided an
afternoon's entertainment for Cindy and I a few years ago and its only about
an hour away on good (paved) roads. Lots of grayling, a few trout, saw my
first wild salmon, and a few mooses. We saw one other fisherman in about 5
hours. Pretty little river.

I, too, recommend the Chena. I drove about 30-40 miles upstream, and
caught a few foot-long grayling. First I'd ever seen.

Afterward, stop at that kinda run-down looking general
store-greenhouse on the north side of the road, about 30 miles above
Fairbanks. They serve the biggest piece of home-made pie you've ever
seen. About one-fifth of a pie, and at least two inches thick, and
every bit as good as it looks.
