July 11, 2010







We were awakened around 2 am by series of loud bangs that sounded like a pistol. After we got up we saw that someone had set off a firework device that had 6 charges it in. I guess some kids thought it was funny to set it off. When I was their age I probably would have too. Jim made pancakes for breakfast and I cooked breakfast links made with both bacon and sausage. We hooked up and then talked to a couple from Texas who live in Frankston, near Tyler. He retired from East Texas Medical Center in Tyler. We headed to the Denali Highway from the west end near the Denali National Park out of Cantwell. We stopped on the way at the Alaska Veterans Memorial. This memorial is for all military service branches. We took a picture at Hurricane Gulch bridge. We set up camp at the BLM Brushkana Creek Campground at mile 104.6 P or 29.2 C, depending on which end of the road you were coming from. The road was slightly muddy in a couple of places because there were scattered showers today. The Casita and Pathfinder are now dirty again.
