I will be a tourist on a limited schedule so I'm the perfect target for getting ripped off (just getting to, from, and around Kodiak for one day on the island along the route I intend will run us over $1,000). Add another $900 if I can find a tour company with room on a Katmai bear watching flight.
But simply being able to say I've been above the Arctic Circle and turning around doesn't hold much appeal to me (it'd feel like claiming I'd been to London with just a Heathrow layover). I don't expect to spend much time in Fairbanks, it is just a logical turnaround point for the time I have to drive (about 12 hours of driving over four days with, I hope, lots of stopping and distraction).
