Here is an update on the end of the week. Yesterday afternoon the UF crew from Fairbanks came down to Healy - they are visiting for the weekend. For dinner we went
to a restaurant called the 49th State and then
we then drove down towards Denali to a place called Denali
Village. It is called "Glitter Gulch" by locals and is the tourist hub before entering the park. There was a
folk/bluegrass band playing and we knew some of the musicians. The drive from Healy to Denali Village is beautiful and on the drive home I was glad it was still light
because I don't know the road and it runs through a canyon with
steep walls and lots of curves. On the
drive home we saw a fox and a moose! It was cool to be in a new place
since being on the same road for a whole week and also weird to be in
public with people who are clean. Today I got to sleep in and we are planning to hike Mt Healy, which is just south of us. It should be fun! Tonight we are having a cookout.
