Fall is here!

8/28/10

Glacier made lakes, Denali Hwy

Rainy day today. Bosco checked the weather forecast for the area and it looks like rain for the next 5 days. Again?! We were just getting dried out and thinking life is good without all that rain. Did a little shopping earlier today and then we took a drive that one of the fellows Bosco met suggested. Drove the Richardson Highway to Paxton and then the Denali Highway almost to Tangle Lakes. What beautiful country!

Summer flowers and Fall foliage!

Kept our eyes peeled for wildlife but didn't seen any. Ate a late lunch at Paxton Lodge, Restaurant and Saloon--population 9. Round trip total mileage 188 miles, and got 27 miles to the gallon. The downside news is that our refrigerator in the trailer is not working. When we packed up this am there was standing water in the freezer.
We cleaned it up and fiddled with it changing it from auto back to gas as it had worked well at Quartz Lake. Don't really know who we can get to look into it out here in the middle of nowhere.

Fall in Alaska-- Follow the yellow lined road!
