New Computer Screen.... Check.

So we finally got into Anchorage and did a much needed computer repair
before heading to the Kenai Peninsula.... Super excited to see what
the next few days bring us down there!

At last, here are the photos since the computer mishap.....

Check out the size of this one Kelly!

One of the bazillion amazing views at Tombstone Territorial Park NT.

Summit of North Fork Mountain after bouncing along the tundra forever!

Nailed it!

2 moose at Two Moose Lake?!?...wierd.

Ogilvie Lookout

Finally made it to the "start" of our trip.

For you WIlma!

Attempt At Art

ts a double rainbow all the way!!!!!!!!!

Peele River Ferry Crossing- they have to rebuild the ramp nearly every day so that cars could get on the ferry.

End of the road.

Ridin' in style....

Misty Trees along the Dempster

Helping out Craig survey Permafrost slumping in Tsiigehtchic

Northern Pike in Frog Lake.

I almost had to stop and drop Shona off here, but she pulled it together and things are still going well.

Homemade Gooseberry jam, compliments of Shona!!

Heard of Caribou in the Richardson Mountains. These were some lucky ones that hadn't been shot yet. Hunters have been widespread and all over the place as hunting season is in full swing.

Fall colours on the Dempster Highway. Check it out Chris C.

Does a bear shit in the woods? Apparently, he does not.

Conquerors of the mighty Dempster.

Canada US border in the north. Please check in here and don't walk around the border!

Posers

Compliments of downtown Chicken, Alaska, which consisted of a gift shop, a bar, a cafe, and this chicken coop all run by the same person. Apparently for fun the guy who was working there liked to shoot peoples underwear out of a rocket. We had to politely decline when he asked for ours. Not because we werent into it, but because we are on a strict ration of underwear and every pair is precious.

This sign is painfully obvious... Dont screw with the devil bison. You will not win.

Mighty Mt. McKinley in all its splendor. In Denali National park you have a 95% chance of seeing a bear and a 20% chance of seeing "The Mountain". We didn't take this view for granted!

Backpacking in Denali

Our campsite. Loving every minute until the wind picked up at about midnight and continued trying to blow our tent over until it forced us to retreat at about 7:30am.

I turn my back for ONE minute...

Hanging out with Gary from Pennsylvania in the hippy town of Telkeetna. It is the jumping off point for climbers hiking McKinley.

Next installment- the Kenai peninsula.
