New Neighbor

Here's our new neighbor out for a snack.

Denali

Last weekend we took in the fall colors and drove north to Talkeetna, which is a small town two hours south of Denali National Park. It also happens to be the nearest town to the Park. The summer season was winding down, but we were still able to stay at the Susitna River Lodge for our first night in the Alaskan Interior.

On Saturday we pushed north and set up camp inside the Park. There is one 90 mile road in the Park that typically only buses are allowed to drive; however, for this weekend only the Park allowed for a lottery where 400 cars per day could drive the entire road. We didn't win the lottery, but we were able to snag a campsite in the Park and access the road.

Along the way we saw plenty of moose, Arctic Snow Bunnies (this is an actual rabbit) and a fox dashing across the Susitna River. Although we didn't see any brown bears, we heard that they were out there somewhere.

Cheers!

Black Bear

Just a sampling of our trip to Seward last weekend. Here's us on the northern end of Fox Island; Seward is off in the distance.



This is Exit Glacier at the enterance to Kenai Fjords National Park. Where I took the photo is where this glacier came to in 1998. It's melted that much in the past 11 years.



Some fun shots at the Sea Center in Seward.

This video is from a few weeks ago when we went south to Homer. Sandy stalked this black bear at the Nature Conservancy, which is down the street from Girdwood.
