DENALI OR BUST

We made it, we're here, in the mountains of Alaska.  On our way up we were able to see Mt McKinley but not sure any of the pictures do it justice.  Will get better ones when we're able to go into the Park.  It'll be 14 days tomorrow since we arrived.  Have been working almost constantly.  The Lodge will open for business on Wednesday at noon.  We both been working very hard in getting our areas ready for the guests.  Dave is finally getting merchandise in his gift shop and I participated in a practice buffet breakfast for the Railroad employees that bring guests from the cruise ships.  Please enjoy the pictures.

Not sure but Mt McKinley in the distance

On the bus for 6 hours, final destination Healy, AK

This bus was used in the movie Into the Wild, we had seen the movie earlier in the week

New friend Shirley, we met at the Westmark Hotel prior to getting on the bus.

Home away from home

We participated in a service project of picking up trash along side of the road leading to the park.

At the entrance to Denali National Park

Lots of trash along the highway after all the snow melted.
