We entered Alaska at the uppermost boarder crossing via the Top of the World Highway; a very lonely spot, but awesome views. We made it into beautiful downtown Chicken (they have totally capitalized on the name) and have turned this small community into a tourist mecca. However, they had great panini (sp?) sandwiches and the little cafe! Camped to the south of Chicken, and Phil and Tyler finally spotted a Moose cow and her calf. Yesterday we travelled the Taylor Hwy, Alaska Hwy (where the picture was taken - Phil decided to take a little nap while the kids were out rock-hopping in the river), then the Richardson Hwy. Spectacular Views on the Richardson. We stayed above the tree line (burr...) at Fielding Lake. Lots of Fly-fisherman/women. Very cold this morning (39 degrees) and rain. Today we traversed the Denali Hwy, and saw Mt Hayes, Mt. Deborah and Mt Hess, then we glimpsed the peak of Mt. McKinley. Tonight we are staying just outside Denali Park, at an RV resort - showers, laundry, water, power - living the high life! Tomorrow we go into the park for 3 days, so no cell coverage.

Say hi to Denali! It was one of our favorite spots on our trip to Alaska. The riverbeds are so wide and prehistoric. We have been enjoying all the pictures.
