We are now in Denali National Park and will be here until Thursday.  Yesterday we spent in Fairbanks but didn't take any pictures and just explored the town a little.  We also washed the truck and camper which they desperately needed.  We are surrounded by trees in our campsite so it is pretty neat.  It is sprinkling a little and we are supposed to get rain here the next couple of days.  We have our rain suits with us we could go hiking in the rain.  We took a short hike today to the visitor center - about 1 1/2 miles.  It was a really good trail and the scenery was nice.  We are thinking about taking a bus tour that will get us further back in the park that we can drive.  We did drive 15 miles in today (that is a far as you can go in your private vehicle) and saw Mt. McKinley.  We also saw a moose and some sheep and some caribou.  We still haven't seen that grizzly but that's okay.

Here are a couple pictures from today.  We have no hook-ups here and are limited on when we can use the generator so will just be posting a few pictures until we get out of the park.
