And the beat goes on-
So leaving Denali, we left with a lot of fun memories, things we saw and did. Denali is a spiritual and extraordinary experience. Traveling the road on the park bus is certainly wearing, but the reasons behind it are for the protection of the animals and keeping the serenity in tact. To limit the road travel is the main importance of the part employees, and will never be the same, if left to the masses.

Seeing sheep, a moose, bear, caribou and the small not so incidental animals are part of the experience. Our departure out of the park included a ‘ptarmigan’ family crossing the road.

Z n K completed their Jr. Ranger swearing in and we left feeling that some day we could return. I think they got the spirit and will find it in their life to return.

Heading out to Chicken to dig for gold. *Ranger Caitlin told us it was named so because since no-one could spell Ptarmigan (state bird-not the mosquito) they picked the closest thing they could spell. The gold prospecting in Chicken wasn’t all the easy, and lost interest in a few hours.

So onward to the Youkon and south to Whitehorse stopping for a nice warm evening in a Thermal bath. Camping was delightful as rained most of the night and the sound on the rv-roof was relaxing. Up and early to head down the Cassier Highway to our last stop in Hyder, AK/Stewart, BC hoping to catch up to the salmon. However the fish have not arrived yet and the bear are not so evident so our sightings were slim but well enjoyed. The area is probably the most close to AL/BC at the turn of the century. Lumber rafts in the bay, and left over object de arte’ from the mining ventures left behind. A delightful evening spent at Ripley Creek Inn.

We all need a clean up!!!!!!!
