TALKEETNA ~ DENALI

June 18~sunny to rainy.
Started out the day in a slower mode, not leaving Jeff and Janell's until about 11am for points north. Followed the Parks Highway to Talkeetna, anxious to see our property, wondering if the road had weathered the winter***YEA, IT HAD***and very well, I might add. Kim, neighbor and road builder, had no doubts as to the stability of it. Stan and Bobbi have approved and have already constructed a cabin in their minds. Our neighbors to the south have also built a road into their property, altho theirs has not held up as well as ours...because, Kim said, he didn't build it. They also have poured posts for the construction of a cabin...don't know if they had it surveyed, but if they have and it's correct we would have our south boundry established. After a look-see, we traveled farther north to Denali National Park...a very pretty drive with some awesome views of Denali and the Alaska range.
We picked up our bus tickets in a pouring rain, then headed back down the highway 6 miles to Denali Grizzly RV Campground to get ready for a long day tomorrow...11 hours on a bus to Wonder Lake in the park. Hoping to get some front shots of animals...
