Fairbanks Funnel Neck

At 65 degrees north latitude, Fairbanks is renowned for the northern lights, also known as the aurora borealis, the midnight sun, and sunsets and sunrises that last forever. Basecamp to Denali National Park & Preserve, the Interior, and the Arctic — Fairbanks is the Golden Heart of Alaska. You’re a Native, a born and bred Alaskan.  You have built your dream, a 100-acre plot of land along the mighty Tanana River outside Fairbanks.  Your 200 strong, herd of long horn cattle feed in the lower paddock, majestic animals often used in rodeos for their beauty and love of bucking off cowboys.  Today is branding day for new arrivals.  It’s a cool October day, grabbing your Fairbanks Funnel neck for warmth, your rawhide gloves and your Stanley custom made elk boots, you step from your cabin and head to the herd rounded up by the ranch hands.  The LHR (long Horn Ranch) branding iron smolders in the coals. It’s the life you’ve dreamed of, now live it!
