Monday, July 7 - In the Muck


If you look real good yu will see McKinley

We left Denali yesterday afternoon and are heading for Anchorage. Stopped at an RV park that had a couple of dry camping spots left. Trouble is these spots were in the muck. It has rained in this area for the past couple of days, not a lot but enough to make the ground muddy. I will have to clean the rig again when we get to Anchorage.
Mt McKinley was visible as we were driving down from Fairbanks the other day so we stopped and got a couple of pictures. This was a good thing as the mountain was in the clouds when we got there. Kay had an allergy attack before we left Fairbanks, so she was pretty miserable the whole day. We weren’t able to stay at the National Park since we hadn’t made any reservations. But we did get up the next morning and took a bus ride up into the park about fifteen miles. Gary was hoping to see a brown bear or caribou but only saw a couple of Dall sheep up the mountain about fifty miles away.
Talkeetna, Alaska
We stopped at Talkeetna after we left Denali. That was the town that the TV show Northern Exposure was based on. It is quite touristy which kind of surprised me since it is off the main highway about 13 miles. Gary did get a photo of the mercantile store that played a big part in the TV show.
