Denali!

We are in the Denali National Forest after eight hours on the Alaska Train. It has been beautiful, but raining and the further we went the more we saw clouds sinking down low. We should be able to see Mount McKinley (or Denali), but clouds shroud the hilltops. I asked the clerk at the gift shop when I bought postcards about that, and she said it was doubtful because it has been such a cool and wet summer. In fact, only 30% of the people coming here at this time of year see the mountain. Oh, well--I have postcard pictures, plus some photos of mine that show lovely shots of rivers and gorges. Someday I will be able to connect the camera to download them and I'll post some pictures.

We are going out on the Talkeetna River in the morning and then will explore the little town before catching the Alaska Train again, heading to Anchorage tomorrow night. For pictures of what it looks like when it is not cloudy, go here.

CB and I are having a good time together. It is cool, pretty, and green here.
