    I just read online that it is a great place to retire. Would you have time to go fishing or moose site seeing?

    Either way, what a great opportunity. Take pictures to share!

    The drive through Denali is wonderful if it's good weather... Kinda boring on a cloudy/rainy day. This is a great time of year to be fishing up there though.

    I enjoy hiking so that would be my to do list for Saturday if there is good weather

    High speed tour of Denali, I better take the full insurance package on the rental car. Tell you what if I do get in trouble with the Alaska State Troopers on camera, I will use the line I'm not drunk I'm just confused, so you will know it's me:lol:

    Got up early made it to Denali, I have always wanted to see Alaska all my life. It is stunning I have been all over the west working fire, Canada too but I have never seen anything as beautiful. Sadly I will not make it fishing and that is a huge regret but the drive to Denali made up for it.
