RAFTING



The boys all went white water rafting just outside Denali. I used the few hours of free time to catch up on posting. Connecting to the Internet, listening to the radio and making cell phone calls is not easy here.

NEW CABIN DIGS IN HEALY


We decided to stay in a cabin tonight. It's about 1.5 miles from where we were staying. It's a little bigger and super cute.

More Denali



So everywhere we go we see t-shirts for the 30% club. That's the percentage of folks who come here and actualy SEE Mt. McKinley. We are so lucky. We've seen it everyday we've been here. It certainly is beautiful.


Today we went hiking to the Horseshoe Lake. We run into people from Michigan everywhere we go.


John and the boys are off white water rafting and I found a cute cafe that has WiFi so I am catching up on my posts.

MS. MOOSE



View from our B&B in Healy (12 miles north of Denali) and a moose with twins!

WAS IT SOMETHING WE SAID?

So we leave Wasilla on Wednesday and Sarah Palin resigns on Friday. Weird.

Yesterday we spent the day on an 8 hour Tundra Wilderness Bus Tour. We saw bears, caribou, dall sheep, a golden eagle, fox and more. And we got a peak of Denali (native word for "the high one" or Mt. McKinley) in the clouds. Oh and we saw a rainbow.

Not too shabby!

DENALI




Here's video from our first day in Denali. I was trying something new with my video camera and I got this tiny video. Oh well.


We drove up from Wasilla and were so fortunate to see Mt. McKinley. I guess only 30% of people who come here actually see it. It's usually surrounded by clouds.


Every here is BIG and BEAUTIFUL. AND EXPENSIVE!!


Yesterday we went to the dog sled kennel to give all the dogs some luvin'. We pet each and every dog that would let us. We fell in love with a dog named Willow.


Our B&B overlooks Otto Lake and we have seen a moose with twins every day.

OUR B & B

Here's the fab B&B we're staying at. Willie did the videography. OK. I've decided we should really talk while we tape to liven things up a bit. We'll start doing that tomorrow when we head to Denali.
