We departed Fairbanks mid-day after some laundry and washing of the motorhome. As we traveled the Parks Highway south we encountered some delay due to a fire that started June 25th about 40 miles south of Fairbanks and burned near the highway and bringing smoke over the weekend in Fairbanks.
The highway climbs leaving Fairbanks then descending into a broad valley passing Nenana before climbing again as we approached Healy, Alaska (where we are the next two weeks). We are located at the McKinley RV Park along with our friends, the Relyea's.
We went out this morning to look around and get the lay of the land spending most of the early afternoon in Denali National Park and taking a hike along the Savage River trail about 14 miles inside the park. We plan to visit Denali State Park tomorrow about 80 miles south of here.
