We spent the last many, several, too many days
without electricity, sewer, internet, telephone, radio,
and gasp, TV!
We met up with The Linda's...
our daughter Melinda and her great travel friend Linda.
They brought Trader Joe goodies.
We love them.
The weather was, in a word, iffy!
Goopy, rainy, muddy, and OHMYGOD pot-holey, as we traveled to the farthest point we could in Denali...Teklaneeka River.
Then we set up our camp.
It then snowed.
IT SNOWED on us!
That isn't dandruff on Annie!
Our second day saw us all on the day long bus ride deep into the wild....bears.... Mama bears with spring cubs, males eating blueberries...oh, and did you read? The first ever bear mauling death in Denali!! Tragic, but stupid.
Bill was in Heaven.
He kept our windows cleaner than any other bus!
Clean windows so we could photograph the bears....
Who cooperated famously!
The scenery was fantastic!
We missed summer this year,
but we got a great taste of Autumn and Winter!
Our group at the foot of Mt. McKinley.
After we boogied out of Denali,
Bill & Annie headed for the lower 48,
The Linda's headed toward the Kenai,
and we hit the Alaska State Fair!
While Jim admired the 961 pound pumpkin,
I was taken by the purple pom-pom on this duck.
Loved the Canine All-Star Show!
Look who was also captivated by the frisbee catching dogs....
Tomorrow we head out!
