Sled dogs on gravel

Ah, weather. No control and nobody cares. It sounds like whining, and it is, but man do clouds suck. We were 30 miles from the tallest peak in North America and couldn't see a thing. Awesome. But we still got to see wolf puppies, a bear pooping and a demonstration on sled dogs. They did a short practice lap on gravel, then we got to pet them. Oh friendly doggies, you're always so cute.

We also saw the posted sunset and sunrise times for tonight and tomorrow. Sunset: 12:45 a.m. Sunrise at 3:45. I guess those clouds hanging around have a use. I don't need the sun coming in at 4 in the freaking morning.

We'll be attempting to load a few photos shortly. Hopefully they work. The size of this area is disconcerting. Just Denali National Park is the size of Massachusetts. We were there on an 8 hour bus ride and probably saw a tiny percentage of things. I'd want to go back, but don't really have the experience and equipment for backpacking.
