I'm going to do one mega-post summarizing the trip up to Deadhorse, Alaska and back down to Fairbanks. I headed for Coldfoot on the 7th and I couldn't have asked for more perfect weather. Look at the happy fluffy ... http://www.theluckydevil.net/blog/?p=999 With time to kill in Fairbanks I decided to kill some time wandering around… The museum is a VERY nice facility... [caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="600" caption="Click To See Full Size"][/caption] I guess I should warn folks now that I did no riding today and I'm only going to be posting stuff from ... http://www.theluckydevil.net/blog/?p=991 I started the day off by returning to Denali National Park. My bus tour the previous day returned too late in the evening to catch the sled dog demonstration at the park kennels, so I decided I would come back the following morning. The dogs were obviously not starved for ... http://www.theluckydevil.net/blog/?p=987 What better way to celebrate the 4th of July than by spending the day in Denali National Park! It was a rainy, cloudy day, so the chances of seeing Mt McKinley were pretty much null... but it was a worthwhile trip anyway. Another MOOSE sighting!!! A mama moose and ... http://www.theluckydevil.net/blog/?p=981 Well, I seem to have fallen behind again… but I think that’s just how this trip is going to be.

The low cloud cover and dreary weather kept them hidden my entire stay, but I did get to hear from the locals how beautiful they are when it's ... http://www.theluckydevil.net/blog/?p=966 There's not much commentary today... we kayaked around, walked around on glaciers, and then kayaked back.... I'm starving and thoroughly pooped. So I'll let the photos do the talking so I can go get something to eat and then go to bed.

Some local/native artwork outside the local ... http://www.theluckydevil.net/blog/?p=955 I woke up at 7am and heard it raining.... UGH... so I decided to sleep for another hour. Woke up again at 8am and still heard rain... UGH... well, it's only 7am on Alaska time, so technically I could sleep for another hour. Woke up again at 9am ... http://www.theluckydevil.net/blog/?p=948 Since the weather forecast had modified my plans to head to Dawson, I decided to Head towards Tok and then make my next decision based on how much tread I had left on my tires. If I needed tires I figured I would head to Fairbanks for some new ... http://www.theluckydevil.net/blog/?p=944 ?>
