... hopes very much that this meeting pans out.

We are back to work on 09-10 for our last seven days as campground hosts. We are both happy and sad. I’m sad because I’m not looking forward to 8 or 9 days on the road when we leave. I hope Val and Dave don’t stop at any of those parking lot campgrounds on the way home. I have bathroom issues…

Your sensitive friend,

Last trip out into the park…

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.

They saw everything on the park road except...A BEAGLE!

Your rare breed,

Remington Beagle

... we checked out the nearby Carlo Creek and Carol tried her luck at panning for gold. There is a mother moose and her baby in residence at Riley Creek. The mother is a collared moose, and can get quite cantankerous. They were across the road from Carol and Larry's, and of course we did not have a camera with us. Val went to Mass at the WAC (Wilderness Access Center) tonight. The priest from the mission in Healy comes into the park to offer Mass during the ...

SCAT Starts with an "s" and ends with a "t" Comes out of you and it comes out of me I know what you're thinking, it could be called that But be scientific and call it scat! You're walking thru the woods and your nose goes "ewwww!" You know some animal has laid scat near you It may seem gross but that's okay They don't have toilets to ...

June 3 Since this is our last day off for awhile we decide to do the Savage Loop hike. But first we went into Healy to do some banking, stopped at the canoe rental place on Otto Lake Rd. to get details on renting a boat for fishing on our next days off, and took pictures of the Alaska Railroad train as it traveled through the Denali Park canyon. When we got down to the parking lot at the beginning of the Savage Trail, we see Russ the photographer. He ...

June 1, 2009 Denali Highway: "The Denali Highway is 135 miles long and connects Paxson on the Ric******* Highway with Cantwell Junction on the Parks Highway. A loop from Fairbanks is 436 miles, and a loop trip from Anchorage is about 600 miles." Several glaciers are viewable from the road, and access to the beautiful Nenana and Susitna Rivers is a plus. Our day started with a Snowshoe hare near the old fire box on our site (we don't use this one as we ...

... that some people put in the bottom of the tub were even on the side of the tub! I'm a terrible person, I completely acknowledge that. Anyway, LJ's only comment about the 'breakfast' part of our B&B experience was "I'm guessing you want to eat somewhere else?" I said yes and we left the Caribou... never to return... I hope.

We headed out of Anchorage ...

Had the privilidge of spending time with Mom, Dad and Haley in Denali NP, Autumn was unbelievable. The mountains and flats are blanketed in rich burgundy, intense yellows, sparse brilliant orange and evergreen all merging with continuously variable jagged and soft-dune peaks sporting chocolates, violets, stark granites, bright white, blue and neutral slates. It's a week of intense, fleeting beauty and we had nearly perfect ...

... 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 room. This was at 9 ...

... mit seinem Gratis Internet gefunden und noch ein paar Erledigungen machen koennen. Anschliessend habe ich mich zum niedlichen und charmanten Doerfchen Nenana hingezogen gefuehlt und mich dort im unglaublich guenstigen und sehr huebschen Caravan Park niedergelassen, um meine versaeumte Sunday session nach zu holen. XXXXX In Galbraith Lake I missed the midnight sun of course, because of the thunderstorm! At the 22nd I decided at dry and sunny ...
