Road Games

It's starting out to be a beautiful day with the weather, looking forward to a day without the coat. We got on the road about 10:00 am and we took pictures for you to see what we see here in Alaska. We were on the road about 2 hours when we arrived Cantwell RV Park about 27 miles from Visitors Center at Denali. Setting up took awhile we couldn't get leveling jacks sync once it came together we were good. Then we grab a quick bite and our partners in crime Bill and Jan  and Harry & me decided to go checkout the park well at least the Visitor Center. Seen a short video and it was of the beauty that's in the park and the animals. Your not able to drive the park you need take a bus or airplane tour. I will let you know what I learn tomorrow about the park. Not sure what were doing yet but we will be on the move.

Riverboat tour

Backing up here a bit.  Jan and I  started  the day doing laundry then played more rummikub with the guys. We were wanting a late lunch in preparations for riverboat ride at 6:30 pm. After lunch we went up the street to get some Pictures of Denali which had been suggested by the tour ladies when we purchased Riverboat tickets. Some will be added for you to see. So when we got back we took longer and expected so we had to get ready fast. On the road in plenty of time hum even a little early. Tour was great and tour guide was very well informed about fish in the river and the diffrent species. We seen a bald eagle and we took a stroll to see a mock village along the river. We got back late as the cruise lasted longer a little longer than we expected.
Then this morning Harry and I went to town to take care of a few things and pick up a few things in Palmer,AZ. Yep we just came from there we just didn't take care of everything. We did get back to meet Bill & Jan for lunch/dinner at Trapper RV Park. Tomorrow we move on down the road.

this is Denali.

Booboo said I'm tired and need some water NOW.

here is the boat we went out on.

this Eagle was on a island about 1/4 mile from the boat.

when this cabin was built it was 75 yards from the river most of the erosion to the bank was caused by Ice.

Salmon will head up and over the rocks in this small inlet during the spawn !

lined up a cruise

Short drive today of 85 miles from Palmer to Trapper Creek RV Park. We arrived to early to get our space in the park. Jan broke out the rummikub game and it was on but not for long 3 hands and park host came by and said he was ready for us. Jan, Bill and Harry won and I am just sure the next hand was going to be mine. So we got parked had a bite for lunch and headed down Talkeetna to check out cruises this little town was billowing with tourist so we lined up a cruise and got out of there. I have to say it was cute lots of stores with the weather being 67 degrees it was perfect for walking around. .Here are a few pictures of the day.
