Denali National Park and Mt. McKinley 20,300ft

We were at about 4000 ft with the tallest mountain in North America lumming about 8 miles away as clear as crystal. Guide said this was one of the best viewing days this summer. Have seen all the wild animals except the wolf. Many excellent photos, but must warn you the animals don't get as close as in the Kenyan safari. Neither is the bedding as luxurious as we had it then.

Since my last posting we have driven down from Fairbanks, lunched at an excellent Thai restuarant and have seen Hot Licks, one of the world's 10 best ice creams. No licks as it opens at 3pm and it was noon with a lot of road ahead of us.

My mother-in-law knit me 2 pairs of wool socks for the trip. She is a God send for doing it. Much warmer than cotton.
Okay send comments and emails we love hearing news from either the provinces or the lower 48.
