Day 7 dawned bright and clear....and even tho' these mountains are NOT Mt. Denali, they are beautiful nonetheless and a wonderful way to start the day....
But this IS McKinley/Denali aka The Mountain...
The wheels of the bus go 'round and 'round as we head down the road toward Talkeetna and a date with a jetboat!
Waiting on the beach for our boat to arrive....
And now our boat is here.....
Even if the views don't include Denali or any mountains....they are still beautiful!
But, then, of course, there's Denali...
We took a short informational hike....the funniest thing was this little shrew....
...which our guide, Abigal, was terrified of!
but she wasn't afraid of the weasel that lives here....
And this was our shotgun toting "fearless" guide!
She would have used that gun if we had been threatened by a bear....but she really wanted to shoot the poor little shrew!
Willie, the elk man....
and me sporting some awesome moose antlers!
Now it's time to say goodbye to the Talkeetna Queen and Mt. Denali.....
We didn't have much time to get some lunch before we were to meet our train for the trip from Talkeetna to Whitter, so we finally found a place to grab a bite to eat, but we both agree that Talkeetna is one of our favorites.....
....talk about a "laid-back" Chamber of Commerce!
Part 2 of Day 6 will soon be here!
