The Denali Day Five: Exit
Last night we were visited by the camp hosts who are also from NC. The were on their first year of this adventure, here from May 19 to Sept 19. They were very encouraging about the time they have spent and sounds like they have sufficient time off duty to explore the park and enjoy their time in Denali. Intriguing to be sure. We walked the river wearing our boots in the AM, saw moose tracks, big and little. On the way out we viewed 4 moose. We also tried a hike but turned back, rain and cold. On the way south we stopped to see Denali again this time viewed the top left and the top right. Someday they will add up to a whole mountain. A stop at Telkeetna for some shopping and dinner & ice cream and then back to Wasilla for the night at the Transportation Museum.

My most outstanding day of speeches. The Moose kept coming - not as a group, but they were coming to hear about Moose Rights. Clearly I am captivating the population in Denali. I am now moving south and next week plan to speak to scores in the area. BdB assures me that the Moose are coming. His excellent work spreading posters in the willows will pay off. He is learning some fine skills, especially for a Bison. I was able to convince the guides to stop near the Birch Ice Cream store. Heavenly. Did you know they also make Birch Soda? Score one for the Moose.
These animals are really big and this one is 15 yards off the road and yet it is still hard to see.
Our shortened walk was down this little valley.
