Friday May 16, 2008 - Denali Alaska




NO BEARS!

But, the rabbits have lost their white fur and the red squirrels are out.

Wednesday, while in Fairbanks, visited the Creamer migratory water fowl sanctuary and caught red headed cranes.


Even though the bears have not cooperated, the maintenance crew has thankfully provided our shared bathroom with running water! The first four days we ahd no water which meant if you had to get up in the middle of the night it was necessary to put on enough clothes so you wouldn't freeze and walk about 100 yards to "The Lone Pine" (the toilet and shower facility - which is heated and indoors - just not my indoor). Then for another week we had running water but it was all cold. Last Tuesday we got HOT WATER. Life is good.

Tomorrow, I think I will try to find bears outside the park.

NOTE: Becky has finished their blog with some excellent pictures hhhalaskatrek.blogspot.com
