It was raining when we got up this morning and it continued off and on all day today. Fortunately for our bus ride out to Eielson Visitor Center yesterday the weather was sunny, so we chose a good day for our tour.
When we made our reservation for Teklanika Campground we were told that most people buy a Tek Pass for their first full day in the park. In order to limit the traffic of private vehicles in the park, we were required to make at least a 3-day reservation for staying in Teklanika Campground. Our road pass only allows us to drive the RV in on our arrival day and back out on our departure date.
We could have ridden on one of the shuttle buses out to Toklat River Rest Area today with our Tek Pass. We wouldn't have a guaranteed seat on a bus like we did yesterday and would have to wait for a bus that had 2 seats available. We can't use our Tek Pass to back east through the park.
We walked up to the camp host's this morning and she told us that it was supposed to rain most of today. Since there was little chance of seeing Mt. McKinley, we decide. just to stay in today.
We haven't had cell phone or broadband internet service since we got about 10 miles west of the Denali Visitor Center. So I'm not able to post on our blog everyday or upload photos to our web album. I use Windows Live Writer (a desk-top blog-publishing software) that allows me to write my narrative for the blog and then I can upload it to our blog once I have internet access again.
I spent the day writing about our activities and worked on organizing the photos we've taken since we've been here in Denali and deciding which ones I'm going to put in our web albums.
Tinker seems glad that we've stayed home today with him, but he seems kind of mopey. I think he wishes we would go back out to the Teklanika River and let him run around in the mud again. Sorry, Tinker - not happening.
