Sharp's Travels

Off we go. At 8:45 we were finally ready to leave the welding shop. 5 days was a long time to dry camp. Only 20 amp service, I couldn’t run anything!

Just down the road we spotted a moose and her calf alone the highway. Not 5 minutes later another moose with her calf. WOW! We’re feeling good.

We stopped in Girdwood to check our Paragliding and because of the rain & wind up on the mountain they had not done any flights this morning. He said we could call back in ½ hour to check on the status. We decided to scratch this adventure from our list and head for Telkeetna. We phoned ahead for camp reservations and lined up our flight over Mt McKinley for Wednesday August 6th.

We arrived at Telkeetna Camper Park around 4pm. Got set up and went over to Talkeetna Air Taxi. We thought we might change our flight to tomorrow, but decided to leave it for Wednesday. Headed down into town and checked out the little shops and the Open Air Market. They had some pretty stuff. I loved all the photographs of the area.

We stopped and bought milk for breakfast and then went back to the 5th wheel for supper. I fixed steak & onions with baked potato.

It’s been clear here so we hopped in the truck and went back up the highway to see if Mt. McKinley was peeking out. No luck, maybe tomorrow.
