So, as far as we are concerned, fishing is out and the train ride, even though it has some virtues, may likely be replaced by the use of SkyPesos on AS to FAI. @:-)
The "Wall O" Wine™" is fully stocked. Not one empty slot in the area (subject to change any evening ). So, we will plan on your presence.

Also, the train trip should be completely different in the summertime. The dome cars will be in use, the scenery will be much more colorful (less white )
and will be more of an express trip. The many stops for bush riders will not be part of this journey.
