                                                       We Are Here

We finally made it to our major destination.  We arrived at the Riley Creek Campground and picked our spot and then went to make a reservation on the bus that takes you deep into the park.  You are only permitted to drive 15 miles into the park by your private vehicle.  So tomorrow we hope to see Mt. McKinley.  It is the tallest mountain in North America at 21,000 feet.  Unfortunately you can only see the summit once or twice a week due to clouds at 18,000 feet.  More tomorrow on our adventure.

We returned to the campground to do the laundry.  I sat outside and who comes up to the window but a giant moose.  I got Ellen's attention inside and told her to turn around and she nearly jumped out of her skin.  There's the 1500 pound mouse banging on the window.  She did want to see wildlife but not when she was laundering her "delicates".   Thats all folks!!
