Our trip today was in rain and a chilly 11'C the entire time. It was sad as we watched the beautiful mountains disappearing and the landscape return to mostly trees and low lying hills.We travelled through some road construction again today. The pavement was all chewed up and there were some mighty massive machinery being used.
There is lots of construction on the roads in Alaska but overall we have found most of the roads to be in really good shape. The construction today was only for about 1/2 mile and not nearly as horrifying as what we had encountered the other day after crossing the border from the Yukon Territories into Alaska! We saw one moose grazing in the ditch on the side of the road and one fox. Nothing too exciting. We stopped in at the Denali National Park where we picked up our tickets for a bus tour tomorrow. Staying tonight in a B&B that is out in the middle of no where!! Originally had us in a “loft” with tiny rooms and one bathroom to share between the 6 of us. We were not too impressed with this so they offered us decent rooms with our own bathrooms for $20 more a night. We jumped at this at will be much more comfortable for the next two sleeps! It is a beautiful view from the B&B! Our host though was quite "different" as he was a little too "happy and chirpy" for us. Almost wanted to offer him a Valium! He was quite nice though and was willing to do anything for us. Had to wonder though when he drank a beer in a coffee mug in the morning at breakfast.
