Sad to say goodbye to Drew and Ken. Such gracious hosts and friends❤️. Took the beautiful train to Denali- we saw a beaver, cranes, swans and more moose!
Took a riverboat trip on the Chena river. We saw Susan Butcher's kennels. She won the Iditarod 4 of 5 races! She was the first woman to win. Puppies are puppies, even if they win races!
Visited the park again and saw Dall sheep, more moose and Caribou! We took a bus today deep into the park. Not as far as usual - we could only go about 42 miles into the park due to a rock glacier that took out the road (quickly, for a glacier, anyway). Ken managed to find a Serbian restaurant for lunch then we hiked about 10 miles back to our cabin. It poured rain on us and we had a little thunder and lightening. Best part was that except for one other lunatic going in the other direction, we had the wilderness to ourselves!
Our first day seeing Denali Park (not Denali Peak though. There are fires nearby whose smoke is obscuring the mountain). But the visitors center has great displays and information. Most fun today was the dog sled demonstration. It was heartwarming to see the dogs SO excited to run. I've never seen such happy puppies!
