Day 21 - continues. Left IGA with ample supply of vittles...and stuck the rovers nose south.

Well, if that ain't the coolest thing ever! To know that l saw something rare, means a ton more than the rest. Granted, the wolverine and lone wolf were cool. We don't see the Magpies here in Michigan, unfortunately. They were very striking, in my opinion. Thank you, for the info. Skirted...

Day 21 - had steady rain throughout the night, so no coleman coffee this morning. Had to drive twenty minutes...and like the Mighty Fitzgerald...'does anyone know where the love of God goes, when the roads (waves) turn the minutes to hours'...fortunately, was able to 'put the fifteen more miles...

Thank you. It's been a life style change for sure. Even believe, the "working mindset" kind of harmed my trip. After 46 years of transporting students to school safely and the responsiblity of 150+ pieces of equipment...your mind from the moment you get up is..."what has to get done today...

Day 20 - Talkeetna...rainy. Train departs from here. Day 19 - late afternoon, sunny and clear view of Denila. Stayed in Talkeetna two days, nice little village. On Day 20 - had a burger and fries from the Burger Barn for dinner...raining again.

Day 19 - heading south to Talkeetna. My cousin in Ontario said it was known for having best southern view of Denila. So off we went...started out wet and damp...but cleared up as we moved south

These two were part of my coffee clutch at bridge/hiking parking lot. This bird looks like the Black Billed Magpies l'd been seeing all along my trip through Canada. But had more color on its tail feathers. (This is the sign just before bridge) Don't know what this was, but kept my bear...

Day 18 - the hunt for Denila continues. Leave campsite early, head up park road. Get to the end of the line, guard shack just the other side of the bridge. As l'm crossing the bridge...notice a sign, about 10" X 12" that says..."No personal vehicles past this point." Get to guard shack and...

Day 17 - slept like a rock, departed Home Depot, heading towards the big mountain. The drive to Denila is rather pleasant. Saw this guy in route. Denila Park. While informing me about my camp site, the young man behind the counter...says, "Your site is in the first loop right...

Yeah, figured it was something like that. Funny, it finally gets to the point where l can't stand it any longer...and find a place to turn around, which wasn't easy, it was like a fifteen point turn in the "give me forty acres and l'll turn this thing around" defender, probably a few miles...

This tends to make for a better day...for sure.

Glad this was brought back from the dead...good stuff!

Lunch a the Yukon River. Went on from there to Arctic Circle, no pictures. Was visiting with another couple and then left without thinking about it. Oh, well. Victoria needs a bath. Although, her rear window had a niffty mud design. Back at Fairbanks, goggling car washes in the...

Day 16 - the Dalton Hwy! It was raining when l pulled out of the gas station, and l immediately thought...sweet, the road is going to be a muddy mess!!!

Day 15 - border crossing into US went smoothly, less questions than when entering Canada. First order of the day after arriving in Fairbanks was...laundry. This is another area of life that my expertise is truly lacking. Granted, my wife has tried to educate me in these matters. My first...

Day 14 - stayed in Tok two days. Drove to "The Top of the World" the second day. Liked Tok, had an authentic feel to it, small airstrip where you could watch bush pilots come and go, nice little grocery store, nice restaurant and outdoor supplies store also. Top of the World ride...

Day 13 - continues. Campground in Tok. Reasonable pricing, decent facilities.

Day 13 - continues. Moving towards border and destination of Tok, Alaska. Mrs. Moose.

Thank you!
