... you say. Yes, but very nice ones.<br><br>Val met another lady at the archives who wants to introduce her to Jack Coghill. Mr. Coghill was one of the signers of the original Alaska state constitution, a state senator, and there is a bridge named for him &#8211; the Jack Coghill Bridge to the Interior! In addition to all of that his father was a contractor for entertainment at Savage Camp in the 30's. Val is excited ...

Last trip out into the park&#8230;<br><br>Val has wanted to go to Wonder Lake for two summers, and Dave does not want to ride the bus. As the season comes to a close, Val has decided to take the bus to Wonder Lake by herself. It turns out to be a good choice. Val says there is not a lot of narrative to go with the story of her day; the pictures tell the story.<br><br>They saw everything on the park road except...A BEAGLE!<br><br>Your rare breed,<br><br>Remington Beagle<br>

... The Fireweed was especially pretty this year. We saw huge patches of it along the roadside and on the sides of mountains.<br><br>In the spring of the year you might wonder why this plant is called Fireweed. Both varieties, the Tall Fireweed and the Dwarf Fireweed (also called River Beauty), have beautiful pink blossoms that look nothing like fire. However, when the colors turn in ...

... Thank you Derrick."<br><br>It is very easy to get lost in the wilderness. This group made a huge mistake right from the start by not notifying anyone of where they were going or when they planned to return. No one had even missed them. They four of them are very gutsy senior citizens to hike out into the wilderness, but they are very lucky but very sore and tired seniors today. <br><br>Just another day in paradise,<br><br>Remington Beagle

... the smoke was blotting out the sun. That is the worst is has been here in terms of smoke. <br><br>We took a ride out the Denali Highway looking for diamond willow, and found a little fox. The fox are plentiful and very healthy. Turns out that diamond willow is harder to find than a fox. Some of what we thought was diamond willow turned out not to be diamond but some other kind of willow. The diamond willow is very pretty when the bark is removed because ...

... a plane and in that case Dave and Val could go. It is a beautiful day, and as luck would have it they have to add another flight and it's a go for my favorite couple. Of course beagles are not allowed, and I have to remain back at the trailer, but I will try to be a sport about it.<br><br>When they get back from their flight they are on cloud 9. (Did you like the pun?) Anyway, Val says that she loved this flight as much or maybe even more than the summit ...

... under his breath at how funny humans are when they are scared.<br><br>We have met a young couple from Rome, Italy (one of Val&#8217;s favorite places in the world), and they are just the best. Meet Luca and Stefania Minchinelli. Luca comes over every night and plays with me. He just loves me. He obviously is a very cultured man with excellent taste in canines. Luca works in the travel business, and Stefania works for a company that advises the Italian ...

... Take a good look at what they excrete Inside their scat are all kinds of clues Parts of their food their bodies couldn't use...and that's scat. No I didn't make this up. This was part of a ranger program presented in our park. This blog is not a very good one I'm afraid. Only one picture - and it's ******. Your scat-man Beagle, Remington

... felt it was becoming dangerous, as my whole mind was on trying to keep warm, and not on keeping the bike upright. So I came upon Rose's Café on the outskirts on Healy Alaska, and stopped for two cups of tea and a hot breakfast. I asked Bill, one of the owners, if there was a motel nearby, and he indicated the next driveway led to a great spot. He then called them for me and I got the last ...

... we are sleeping in the garden shed! We ate at the Samon Bake and shared a pitcher of local beer - life is good... Dean: Wednesday - Up early and over to the park entrance for 7:30am. We are booked on one of the longer tour buses into the park (cars are not allowed into any of the interior parts of the 6 million acre park). We head out to 'Fish Creek' - 64 miles into the park and one stop short of the furthest point ...
