We left the Denali RV PArk as soon as we got our mail and are on the way to Talkeetna. Stopped at His & Hers Restaurant for lunch; really good food. It is an unusual place; was built in 1961 before the road was even paved. Survived the 1964 earthquake that was centered in Anchorage. They have added on many rooms and all of the ceilings are wooden and beamed. There is a huge lake behind them that is stocked with rainbow trout.
We stayed at Montana Creek Campground and walked down to the river where the salmon swim up to spawn and then die. The Sunday papers said the salmon have finally been spotted in Anchorage, so they'll be up on the way here. They were really late this year. People started wondering what was wrong. Daddy didn't catch any, but neither did anybody else. The 1 lady next to Daddy caught 1 in his tail. You can't keep those because this is a sport fishing event. There must have been 80 people fishing all around here with little kids all running around all over the island. Daddy looked pretty good in his waders!
Hopefully, by Monday I will be over the cold or allergy I got when we hiked into Denali the first day. It must be from the willow and cottonwood trees just blooming. Of course, the dunk into the cold lake didn't do me any good either. I bet if anybody could have seen it, it would have been hilarious!!!!
