Denali Park

A magnificent place!
See if you can find two grizzlies

They are close enough as far as I'm concerned

Now you know why artists come here to paint
These are two different grizzlies.

If you go hiking here it is best to just bring non scented water with you

And the view goes on
Oh good finally some people in our pictures
Didn't we just see this? Nope!

This still looks much like it did in 1870 and is very much an active community

Stopped for now

Take time to smell the flowers
You can always find somewhere to park
When disaster strikes.

Wheel bearing disintegrated, created small fire while enroute, fortunately the fire extinguisher we carried was able to put the fire out. Happen to notice the smoke in the side mirror as we were driving! Now we wait for parts while we camp in Nugget City (pop 20) just west of Watson Lake. Not to worry, lots of good fishing lakes nearby and we have internet and TV, gotta love roughing it!

PS: Cold beer and wine store on site!

Things to watch for along the way

Don't bother me I'm having my roadside lunch
This campground was about 4000 ft elevation, the ice had gone out about a week ago
It was this big -honest!
