ALASKA The Final Frontier

Environmental Leverage Inc.

Ok, as the conductor says, all aboard for Denali on the McKinley Explorer!	In case you missed the first part of the trip Vancouver to the Yukon. . . .
Here is our group posing again this was the only time we had a problem with the black flies in the area! Other than that we had sunny, 75-80 degree days for 12 straight days! Except for the smoke from the forest fires, the weather was perfect!	Ok Mel, you crossed over the line a bit here in more ways than one!!!!!	Well, there she is in front of Mt. McKinley since they won't let you drive to within 30 miles of it, this is the closest view we had of it!
	Follow the purple moose!

More tundra out the windows- at least the windows are large, there is leg room and the seats were comfy!	Well, here is a moose, oh no, that is just Betty with a MOOSE MARY!!	Panning for gold- now that was an experience it was disgusting to see how they did it in the past, and literally ruined the ground strip mining and raping the area! Mounds and piles of dirt and rock everywhere! What a mess, and they are worried about a few caribou having a few less acres. . . .
A golden spike Is it real? Think they will miss it if I stick it in my pocket?	You who	Say Cheese and smile There still is a possibility that we will see some wild animals!!!
Perilous curves and winding paths ok, well just a little bit! We were not biting our nails, just desperately hoping for a look at some wildlife.. we were beginning to this Alaska was sterile!! McKinley Explorer to Anchorage	Ok Justine, I heard him, he said that is the closest you will get to getting a fur coat!	Ok, more dead tundra, dried up muddy lakes and rivers and smoky mountains, remind me why I spent the last 4 days driving through this? Tundra trail in Denali

Gee, I can do it on my left leg	and I can do it on my right leg! I guess when you are honeymooners, anything makes you smile!!! Greg and Justine	Ok, ok, quit your barking, it was not that bad! And yes, we finally found some real wild life in Alaska, all those post cards are not really fake, they just hide most of it from us so we will go into the gift shops! Kenai Fjords
Aialik Glacier we spent quite a bit of time here watching it calve so go to that page for more of this!!!	Kathy, our fearless leader gets some warm wool socks! It was the last night in Anchorage, and our group trooped on over to Humpy's for some spirits and live music one last time!	The boys having an Artic Red!
	Hey, I thought this was a family trip. . ..

		We tried to get a group picture....
	Justine dancing with our drunk photographer!
	and tried

	and tried oh well, put them all together, and I am sure you will be able to see everyone!	and tried, do you think it might have something to do with the drunk we asked in the bar to take the photos?
again. . . . .		Well, before we left we were "interviewed" by the local cable TV . . . . . . . . It was more like Elyse was interviewing Ray Metcalfe- Alaska's Republican Moderates Party leader Barbara Walter style in the park at 11:30 with bugs bunny playing in the background!!! Only in Alaska
