Denali and south

This is as close as Mary will ever get to a bear.  Sitting at the Denali visitor's center

Campground just north of Denali NP

Bears at a kill site feasting on a Carribou.  Ranger says kill probably done by wolves and them stolen by the bears.  Wolves will be back to reclaim once bears have feasted.

Weather in the park that day was a mess - mostly rain and cloudly all day.  

road system allowed only buses - was gravel and narrow with plenty of sharp turns

group still had a good time in spite of the weather

Mt McKinley at southern viewpoint - about 50 miles to summit

Me and my girl enjoying the view and the warm sunny weather next day

Stopped in Talkeetna - found good fishing spot on Montanna Creek.  Richard and I each caught a trout.

Lunch in Talkeetna 

Mary and Elle looking for treasure in Montanna Creek

Looks like they found something.  Wouldn't tell us how much.
