On to Denali!!!

We ran into rain, a few poor road conditions and road delays.  However, we reached Dinali late Sat. afternoon and of course all campgrounds inside were full.  Boondocked overnight and got into our campground early on Sunday.  Monday found us on an 8 hr. bus trip into the park.  Saw tons of wildlife and unimaginably beautiful scenery.  Will post more pics on area in next post.  Too tired now.

More construction on Parks Highway from Fairbanks to Denali than we have seen.  Hope rest of the way to Anchorage is not like this.
It could be worse, I think.
Caribou are constantly harrassed by insects that lay their eggs on and in them.  They frequently get up, shake, bury their nose in the ground and then lie back down.
The first 3 grizzlies I have ever seen in the wild.  Mama and the babies down by the river.
More Dall Sheep up on the mountains near the top.  Safer there.
Beautiful landscape inside.  We couldn't have asked for a nicer day.
