Day 28--Wednesday, July 21--Montana Creek

Visited the Denali visitor's center before heading south--got the last spot in RV parking.







It's a very cool, interactive visitor's site. This was built into a steamer trunk like dad's trunk when he came from Sweden--how would like to carry that through airports?







This may be our best view of McKinley this trip--the topo map at the visitor's center.












Here's the summit--above the tree line. The fireweed are all the way to the top--6 weeks till the start of winter.

Steve likened riding in the RV to being at home watching the Discovery Channel in his chair--ya think?








Here we are at the south view--may be the only view we get--"L" on the forehead--the 70%!








Finally, to our campground at Montana Creek. Best thing about this campground is that it is not a weekend, there are two RV's in camp, and there is high-speed wifi--and the fishing, of course.













Checking out the fishing spots--huge trees!

We are camping in the ACOA member campgrounds--next time--there are so many state parks that are absolutely wonderful--there is one right across the road from our campground.









Feeshin--step off the highway to see the beauty!












Ended the day with another campfire--hoping for sun tomorrow and maybe driving back north to see "the great one"--or not.
 
There is one other camper in the campground--S gave them our gold pans as we won't use them. The camp manager and his wife are from Wisconsin for the summer--they drove up and and working for gas money for the way home--cost them $1,650 coming up.
