Took the day yesterday to do laundry and let Paw Paw rest. Today we made up for it as we started early morning taking the shuttle to Savage River. We hiked a little over 2 miles. We saw ptarmagin moms & dads with their chicks right on the trail. After we returned to the trail head, we walked up the road to see the 3 bull caribous in the river. Paw Paw got a good picture, but my camera just did not have a beefy enough telephoto lens to get them. These guys were big and beautiful. Rode back to the visitor center to have a bite to eat (lunch & dinner), then walked to the Wilderness Center to watch a film on Denali. Finally made it back to our modest home. We will be leaving in the morning to Palmer and Wasilla (hopefully the musk ox farm) and taking in Takeetna to hopefully see a clearer Mt McKinley on the way. Dad picked up a great Alaska History book for all you history lovers to read. Love ya' all. We are keeping our eyes open for that illusive Big Foot. We have been very fortunate to have 4 days without rain. It has been cloudy and windy, but no rain. All good things must come to an end as they saywe are to have rain tonight and tomorrow.
