Well it has been exactly a month since we left home and have covered a little over 4,000 miles. It seems like a week. We finally left Denali National Park and headed south to Talkeetna (we will probably be here a few days). The weather has been rainy and overcast so we we very lucky to see Mt. McKinley when we did. The weather is supposed to clear in a few days. Hope everyone out there is well and we will probably be posting again in a day or two. Thanks for looking.

We were stopped at a rest area north of Talkeetna and saw this tanker flyover. We were able to snap a few photos before it passed by. It flew overhead at about 1000'. Not something you see every day.
While driving through Denali State Park, we snapped a photo of this mountain peak sticking out of the clouds.
The only two thing we haven't seen in Denali National Park are Caribou and Grizzly bears. On the last day we went out at about 9:00p.m. and located a few caribou but missed out on the Grizzly bears (better luck next time). The state is full of them so we should run into "one." Once we got home it poured the entire night.
We took a hike along Savage Creek and found this Marmot. Can you see him? These are very friendly critters that look soft and snugly but I am sure they have a bad bite. They are like big beavers without the paddle tail.

Are you sure those aren't reindeer? You are pretty close to the North Pole. Tell Santa we won't be needing his services in Costa Mesa this year...sigh. Is Dug out of the "dog house" yet for his bad behavior??
ReplyDeleteThey do look a lot of like, but we were told no reindeer in Denali Nat'l Park. I did put in a good word for Costa Mesa with Santa though and he said he's working on it!! :) Yes Dug is out of the dog house and he went gold panning with Vern. We hope to have 3G so we can do a new post tonight.
