On the flight from Houston to Anchorage on Monday, there were 3 older ladies sitting in the row behind me. Every time they got up, they yanked on my chair and pulled my hair- EVERY time- so I was rather annoyed. After arriving at the train depot in Denali the next day, who did we see? Same ladies! They were on the same shuttle van as us to go into town. Wednesday, at a restroom break on our Park tour, who did we see? Same ladies! Yesterday at the sled dog demo, guess who was there? Yup! Small world I guess. Wonder if we'll see them in Seward...now that would be freaky.
I completely forgot to mention in yesterday's post that we got to see Denali on the bus out to Savage River! Denali is often obstructed by clouds but we were lucky to catch a fleeting glimpse of it- just a tiny little portion waaaay off in the distance, but exciting nonetheless. I tried taking pictures from the bus, but they don't look so hot- will have to check them more once I upload to iPhoto.
It was bittersweet leaving Denali this morning- I'd like to stay and explore further in to the Park (since I only went 53 miles in!) and do some backcountry camping & hiking, but I'm also ready for the ocean/coastline in Seward. Maybe someday I'll be in Denali again...
A last few pics from Denali- a signpost at the Salmon Bake showing how far we are from home, the Bake (taken from the bus), and our exciting bus journey.
