A Long Weekend Coming Up

We leave tomorrow morning for the central part of the state - Fairbanks, North Pole, and the Arctic Circle. Fairbanks is roughly a six-hour drive from Anchorage.

The route passes within about 75 miles of Denali (Mt. McKinley), so I'm hoping for reasonably clear skies & lots of photo ops. Of course, there's the return trip on Sunday, as well, when we'll have no particular schedule.

It will probably be Monday before I put anything else up. Thanks for stopping by.

We drove past Denali this AM (Sat. July 17) and saw nothing but clouds. We get a second shot tomorrow when we take a bus into the park for a wildlife tour. For both our sakes, I hope the current strong winds clear the air.
