5pm: We are staying at the Denali outdoor center on Otto lake in Healy, Alaska. We will be here till Monday morning July 11th and then we are going to stay at a hotel nearby.


Yes, it did rain. Yes it will rain again.

Jeff and I went to Denali park today(Sunday). We were turned around about 10 miles in, by Rangers, due to bear trouble. They said a young bear had gotten A taste of good food and injured a tourist. So they were blocking everyone off until they can capture him. Poor bear!!
😟 Think about it, it's just an animal begging aggressively and someone made the mistake of giving him food. Now they're going to put him down!! 

Last night we went to a great place for pizza in Denali Town.

*If we listen to the land, we will know what to do.

Day 8 July 11, 2016 Healy, AK We are going to be staying in a hotel for the next four nights here in Healy, Alaska. (July 11-15) We will be exploring the Denali National Park and this whole area. Today we went and saw the Denali dogsled Demonstration. Denali sled dogs "mush" the trails of Denali Park all winter long. In the summer time the kennel dogs participate in a sled dog demonstration three times a day. We did get to hang with the dogs and pet them. Free Demo! "Please scratch my back"  "Would you smile if some weirdo wanted to do a selfie with you"? After the dogsled demonstration we went to the Denali visitors center. We watched a movie about Denali and looked at all the displays and information about the park. Jeff made a friend! After hanging out at Denali, we headed back to Healy and on the way stopped at a beautiful hotel that was perched way up above the    Denali Village! I can't remember the

This morning we were up early on our way to the bathroom and a fox was about 4 feet from Jeff. He thought it was going to come right up to him and then it saw me and walked around us to eat some berries about 12 feet from us. Of course by the time I got to my camera he was gone. Awesome Sauce!! Whitehorse to Fort Nelson: At Johnson's Crossing we stopped and picked up some goodies at the Bakery. The Cherry and Apple turnovers were delicious. Cinnamon Rolls were also good. Scones we did not care for. Good place to check out. This rest stop was just down the road from this bakery. I loved the way it was landscaped! The gravel road on the left of this sign is highway 6 to Ross River, Yukon. Yep its gravel all the way. This was on the road by Swift River. We stopped to get a good picture of the bridge below and decided to explore this RV park. We drove thru it and the Container RV was parked in one of the spots. We thought it was so cool how they built it and even had a de

Day 45: Aug 17 (Tok, AK - Whitehorse, Yukon) 420 miles

Happy Anniversary  To US!!  We started the day out at the Tok RV Village RV park, where we had stayed on the way to Alaska.  While we were getting ready to go a squirrel was hopping from tree to tree, knocking down the pine cones. In this picture you can see he's on his way to another tree. He was doing this until we left. We figured the winters must be pretty cold if he's working this hard to get his stores up! Tok, AK to Whitehorse, Yukon: If you go to Alaska or Canada, I highly recommend going to all the visitors centers. Most all have more then just travel information. Many have history, demonstrations and more. They are all very helpful!! This one was in Alaska before the Canadian Border.. This was the Refuge behind the visitors station where you can go hiking and fishing. One of the type of fish that are in these lakes. On the road: These pictures were taken in the Yukon. We noticed the trees were turning fall colors already. We ended up staying a
