As we made our way to Denali National Park today we encountered several challenges. The first one was a pace car which led us through some of the areas that have been on fire. The fire literally came to the edge of the highway. Next a cow (female) moose and her calf (baby) ran right across the road in front of us. Thank goodness I had the camera on my lap so I was able to snap a couple good shoots of the two of them. Our next challenge was big time road construction and yet another pace car. They had totally dug up the road so the ride from point A to point B was pretty darn rough. From the time we left Fairbanks (9:30) to the time we arrived in the campgrounds at Denali (2:30) the temperature had dropped 30 degrees... So now we are back to 42 degree nights. I am sure glad I have my heavy Denver Bronco pajamas. Of course we also have our 3 daschunds to keep us warm. Tomorrow is going to be an adventure, so stayed tuned.
