Day Sixteen: The Last Day; Anchorage, Alaska
July 12, 2008 - Anchorage, Alaska, United States
While Bill and I are acutely aware that this will be our last day in Alaska, we determined that we will add more adventures to the list.  We leave the campsite pretty much on time and as planned and headed the 40 total miles or so to Anchorage.  The sky looked clear to the northwest so I was hopeful we’d get one last peek at Denali. We...

Day Fourteen: Denali Park Road
July 10, 2008 - Denali National Park, Alaska, United States
This morning we slept in to 6:30 a.m. and hitch-hiked a ride on a bus heading to the Eielson Center.  We had purchased “Tek Passes” that allowed us the one guaranteed trip to Wonder Lake and then for the rest of our stay we can hop on and off buses according to the availability of seats.  Bill and I caught seats across the aisle from each...

Day Thirteen: Wonder Lake, Denali National Park
July 9, 2008 - Denali National Park, Alaska, United States
I woke up in the middle of the night with the sound of rain on the RV (again).  This was our day for a guaranteed trip all the way to Wonder Lake on the Denali Park Road.  By 4:00 a.m. I just could not convince my body that it was still time to sleep so I got up, took a shower and prepared for the day ahead.  We had to be at the bus pick-up...

Day Twelve: Denali Hwy and Denali National Park
July 8, 2008 - Denali National Park, Alaska, United States
As much as yesterday now holds the honor of our worse day of the trip, our campsite was a lovely place to spend the night.  Because we are now even closer to the North Pole, it did not get dark at all last night.  I awoke at 4:00 a.m. to rain and nearly convinced myself that our RV would sink into the earth since we were parked so close to the...

Day Eight: 4th of July, Valdez
July 4, 2008 - Valdez, Alaska, United States
We are bringing the good weather with us!  The weather forecasters predicted rain all day today but we haven’t seen a drop!  We’re sleeping very well at night but still waking up too early; this morning around 5:30 a.m.  I got up this morning, took a nice hot shower courtesy Eagle’s Rest and did a load of laundry.  You know, you really...
