Just arrived in Talkeetna after a fabulous drive down the Parks Hwy from Cantwell. It is a clear, flawless day and The Mountain was visible for miles and miles and miles. Great photo ops! Yesterday we took the Denali Shuttle Bus to Kantishna. It was overcast with occasional light rain. Our driver assured us that animals are often very active on days that that. Wow, was she ever right!It was a peak day for wild life. We plan to leave Talkeetna on Friday or Saturday and spend a few days in Anchorage with old friends. No plans after that...just going with the flow. lizzie
