Heading 2 Denali

 Heading To Denali (these photos are in google photos,

Trying to create a blog with poor cell service is trying.  Since I’m on vacation, i figured out a way to minimize my frustration!   Pictures will be found in the above link.  

Before heading on a bus to Denali, we had a lovely cruise on the Chenin river.  We learned alot about dog mushing.  These 🐕 are amazing; smart, cute, fast, and entertaining just like me!  Haha!  We loved the fact that a woman won the Iditarod FOUR 4️⃣ times with a lead 🐕 named, Gratitude.  Everyone told her she couldn't win as a woman and that her lead dog was not cut out for it.  Hmmmm…guess she proved her critics wrong!  Never underestimate the power of a determined woman!  

We also made a stop where we learned all about smoking salmon, how indigenous people survive the brutal, brutal winters and about a how ingenuous Alaskans are regarding using all parts of an animal. What a wonderful world it would be to work together as a community and to use our limited natural resources in the most efficient way possible. But, digress!

There is a picture in the link of a table of people eating. 🥣 I have to say, it was worse than a bull 🐂 stampede.  I swear these people never had a free meal in their life.  By the time we sat down, there literally were nothing but crumbs.  The beef stew sure looked good but we loaded the 🚌 hungry.  

Always look on the bright side!  We entered the 40 below room with shorts on.  We stayed for about 90 seconds!  …and, i thought Maine was bad! 

 I really wanted to check out “Skinny Dicks” but Bill refused to go in there with me.  What a chicken shit.  In his defense, you never know how I’ll behave.
