Long Denali Tour

July 26 -   Oooh it was cold last night and cold this morning.  Bill got up and some point and closed our bedroom door and turned on the electric heater.  I have given Melissa 2 blankets and a sheet so figured she was using them all!

I cooked some venison sausage this morning that our friend Karen that Bill used to work with gave us before we left.  Melissa has never had venison and she liked it.  This was a little spicy and I think that made it better tasting for her.  It will be back on the menu tomorrow!

Bill and Melissa went gift store shopping but I passed.  I don’t need anymore “stuff”.  It’s all the same stuff in the shops and it was too cold to go out if I didn’t have to!

Today was our Denali tour.  It was 5 hours.  The bus was full and they provided a snack box and fancy bottles of water.  We also took food since we didn’t leave until after 3 we would have something for dinner.  We had an excellent tour guide and he answered any questions and explained a lot about the area and the animals.   When we spotted wildlife he could zoom in on them and put them on the monitors spaced throughout the bus.  We got to see a Grizzly bear, artic ground squirrels and Dall Sheep twice.  Everyone wanted to see moose or caribou but it just wasn’t going to happen. 

All in all it was a great day and I think everyone had a good time.
