Today we left Denali and drove to Anchorage.  It was our lucky day as we became part of the 30% who get to see Mt. McKinley in all it's glory.  As we drove south we could see the peak and there were clouds below but the further we got the better the picture.  We stopped at a lookout and I climbed on top of the camper to get above the trees for a better view.  Another car of people stopped and one of them climbed on top of the camper also to get a good shot.  It was kind of funny as a tour bus drove past and really slowed down - guess they wanted to check out the view also.  We stopped at an Artic Fox dealer in Palmer and they have ordered the part we need to fix the faucet - we will be back through here in a couple weeks and it should be here by then.

We are both a little disappointed with Anchorage so far.  The first campground we were going to stay at was hard to find and was in an industrial part of town so we decided to try a different one.  The good thing about this one is that it is right across the street from Costco and has full hook-ups but those are the high points.  We are going to try to catch a bus to get downtown tomorrow to do a little sightseeing and then will be off to Seward, Kenai and Homer.  I think we just have to adjust from the quietness of Denali to the bustle of Anchorage.  Hopefully, tomorrow will be better.

Here are some of the shots of Mt. McKinley.
