I noticed something a few days ago - Nancy is usually wearing a button up, freshly ironed shirt. There's something a little sick about ironing when you're in an RV on vacation. I much prefer a wrinkled tee shirt with a lovely sweatshirt over it.
We left Fairbanks at 9:24 and headed for Denali Park. We made reservations in a campground at the park and arrived there around lunch time. It's a good thing we called ahead because all the park campgrounds were full by the time we arrived. Unfortunately, we only reserved one night and they didn't have anything available for a second night. We will have to move to an RV park outside Denali - kind of a pain.
Yesterday evening it rained and hailed really hard. Later that night I pulled out my sweatpants only to find that they, along with a number of other items, were soaked. Yipes! We have a leak! Jan's plan was to take care of it when we get to Anchorage. On the road today, we had about a 20 minute wait at a construction zone and Jan & Jerry were looking at the trailer, discussing the leak. Jan noticed a piece of the roof was loose and the wind was lifting it up as we drove. He grabbed the duct tape and taped the roof back together while we waited for the pilot car that was to take us through the construction. We now look like the Beverly Hillbillies! But that's okay, we've seen a number of homes in the back woods that could pass for junk yards - a duct taped trailer fits right in. Now if only I could get Jan to start wearing Dickie's overalls (they seem to be the rage here).
We took a 6 hour bus tour of Denali Park. We got to see a momma grizzly with 2 cubs, a herd of caribou, & a herd of Dall sheep. The park is absolutely beautiful (of course) and it was pretty exciting to see the wildlife. It was cloudy and rainy so Jan wasn't able to get any awesome pictures. He got some okay pictures but not the ones he had hoped for.
