Just read the news and they are saying there is a wildfire near Nenana which is on the road south (Hwy 3) from Fairbanks to Denali and it has the road closed into the park from that direction. Have not heard whether it is opened yet. May not even get to the park! Had rain this morning, but don't know if it is enough to stop fires. Sure didn't help the thick smoke here in Fairbanks ~ but on the light side (no pun intended) it did cool us down nicely. ;)
Imagine the smoke is even thick up near Chena Hot Springs.
We're in a "wait and see" mode...we do have reservations in the park, but if they don't get the fire out, roads opened we may not even make it there.
