Well we are really enjoying Denali National Park and
Preserve and I am working on the post for that.
However, I am taking a moment to tell you of our recent downturn in
weather!
It is late June and temp in barely 50 degrees today and it
was in the 30’s overnight! It started
raining early yesterday and rained steadily all day yesterday and until early
this AM. Then we had intermittent showers
for a while. Travelers arriving from the
Anchorage reported seeing snow flurries and we could see new snow on the tops
of the mountains around us! And, the
wind howled all night – so bad we pulled in one of the bedroom slides about
3AM!

Interestingly, we noted that road construction projects in
the area continued on despite the rain.
At home they would shut down because of the constant rain, but here the
time frame for road work is bracketed by severe weather so they will not let rain
nor wind delay the project!

| Nenana River is much more active today! |

The Nenana River is a bigger raging waterway today. The weather service has posted a small stream
overflow warning (Nenana is a river, not part of the warning). The campground drainage system is lacking and
mud puddles are a mess but no danger of flooding is apparent!
But, it is cold and wet!
We are heading south tomorrow for
a few days at Denali State Park. Then a
few days at Talkeetna for a few more days. Brother Gary and I are planning of taking
a flightseeing plane while there to see Denali from the air!
We will stop for a day or two in Anchorage and then get to
the Kenai on 4 July. Will stay at a campground
on the water for a few days then head toward Soldatan and Homer and other
locations!
Always at home, no matter where we are!!
