Day 18 Fairbanks, AK to Denali National Park

Day 18 we drove from Fairbanks to Denali National Park.  It was another easy days drive.  We drove less than 200 miles.  Cathy and Grandma Linn kept looking for moose and bear.  We have not seen any bear that we could stop and get a picture of, but we did see several moose and get there picture.

We spotted the 5th Wheel and then drove back to the park to look around.  Just outside the entrance are a bunch of tourist shops.  We spent some time shopping which made Cathy’s day.  We had lunch at a hotdog stand and then drove to the Denali Visitors Center.  They wanted $10 per person to drive the 15 miles into the park, but Grandpa Linn had a Lifetime Pass to the National Parks that got the whole truckload in for free.  That was nice.


Most of Mt McKinley was covered in clouds today, but we could see a small piece of it.  Maybe we will get a better view from the South side of it on our way to Anchorage.  When we got back to the camper, the mosquitoes were awful.  I was not going to get the grill out, so we cooked Brat Patties on the George Forman Grill inside the camper.  They were great.  

We watched a comedy movie with Adam Sandler that Steve and Amy had gotten us for Christmas.  It was called Grown Up, and was pretty good.  We all got a pretty good laugh out of watching it.  When it was over, it was after 10 PM, so we went to bed.
