Bybee's Travels

June 15 to June 19

We are at Denali RV Park and Motel for 3 nights.  After setting up we went to the tours center and booked for the next morning an eight hour bus ride into the park.  You can only drive your private vehicle about 15 miles into the park.  It was a grueling bus ride and we weren't able to see Mt. McKinley, too many clouds, but we did see a lot of wildlife.  Moose, one mamma with a calf, Caribou, Grizzly Bears, and Dall Sheep so it was worthwhile

Sunday morning we made breakfast for the guys for Father's Day and later that night went to a dinner/theater.

Happy Father's Day!!!

 Waiting in line for the dinner show to open and begin.

Since it was family style the rule was..we all had to wave our napkins in the air and yell JOE, JOE and they would bring what ever you were short on.  I have some of it on video and have tried to upload it but wifi is just not strong enough.

On Monday we traveled to Anchorage, and stayed at the Ship Creek RV Park for 2 nights.  Once again we had Costco, Walmart, etc. to do some shopping and then try to figure out where to put it because you don't know where you might have the opportunity again.  We did so much museum stuff in Fairbanks we passed on them in Anchorage.  Joe and I went to the visitor's center downtown.  There was a woman giving a one hour presentation called Mushing 101, we listened to that and it was very interesting.  She and her husband have 36 dogs and they feed them fish, costs them about $2,000 per month.  They start training in early September, using an ATV in neutral for them to pull until the snow and cold cover the ground for winter.
