Arrived in Denali
We arrived in Denali last night, had a great drive up the Alaska hwy, stopping in Haines for a night. Decided to drive the Denali Highway from Paxson to Cantwell and found the scenery absolutely beautiful, did have some Caribou but they were very skittish as it was hunting season. Found all the campgrounds full in Denali last night, got a spot tonight and reservations for the remainder were made in advance. Rained heavy all day today, put on raincoats and went for a small hike, looks like our timing is perfect, bushes are just starting to have some red/orange leaves. No photos to post yet. The big news is we have a new granddaughter born last Monday and everyone is doing fine. If you are coming to. Denali soon bring good rain gear, you will need it.

Guys,
Congratulations on being grandparents again…what’s her name?
I like your kayaking shot. Those guys have their priorities straight. All that rain should make for some unique shots.

Hi Tad,
Our new granddaughter is named Lilly. I am hoping for some unique shots, rain is fine, just have to find the critters. Mistake #1 today, don’t go anywhere without a camera. Took a short walk in heavy rain, surprised a beautiful coal black wolf, no camera, but we got a 2 second glimpse before it disappeared in the bushes someone told us there are only 2 black wolves in Denali, not sure if it is true.
