Alaska - Day 5, Denali


  • Rain turned to SNOW!
  • Breakfast at DEC.
  • Lecture - Wildlife of Denali by Toni
  • Break
  • Lecture - This Land Is Your Land, by  Keith Reimink (Program Director). Great speaker. Interesting subject. I want to read more.
  • Lunch
  • I was told that all helicopter rides today were CANCELLED. Later others told me their 4:30 flights were going. Just not my 2:35. Asked about tomorrow morning. Put me on the list, but they need at least 2 other people. Will confirm with me by EOD. Didn't call me back until 7:40 pm.
  • Karie drove Ruth and I to the Visitors Center. We watched 2 short films, both good, but I liked the one about the mush dogs better. Not much time to see anything else. Caught the bus at 3:30pm. 
  • Lecture - Farming in the Subarctic by Tom Zimmer. He was enthusiastic, but the subject matter wasn't that interesting to me. 
  • Back to room where I showered and packed.
