After two days of cool, rainy weather yesterday dawned with beautiful sunshine. A day made to go out and see Denali National Park and Mt. McKinley.
But first, I have to tell you that Joy set a world record for the longest trip to the grocery store - 125 miles each way! At home she will drive for miles to save 2 cents on gas. Today we drove about 125 miles from Healy to Talkeetna, AK to go to a "real" grocery store - IGA. Life is a bit different up here for us city folks.
Anyway, getting back to yesterday. We have seen some of the best of Gods' creation up here in Alaska and yesterday was no exception. I am told that only about 30% of Denali visitors get a clear view of the mountain. We have seen it twice this week! I let the views speak for themselves. First views are from the Parks Highway southbound, then views from Trapper Creek cut-off along a 4-wheels drive road, and finally from Talkeetna, AK.
