Day 25 (6-25-12 - Denali NP to Houston, Ak.)

We had another great journey today.  It was cloudy, cool, but not windy.  After cooking breakfast on the Coleman stove, we had a nice ride out of Teklanika Campground to Houston, Alaska, (205 miles).  With the clouds, we knew that there was no chance of seeing Mt. McKinley along Parks Highway.

Ferny Kat was not a happy camper when we left.  She loved Denali National Park and cried for at least 15 miles.  She did not want to leave

We are staying at Riverview Campground.  It is a very nice campground on the Little Susitna River.  We are on camping at the end of the campground on the river.  The river is above the banks and is right outside our site. We can hear the rumbling of the river.

Lauren was planning on fishing.  The woman at the campground office told us that the river was high and that she had not heard of very many fish being caught.  So, we did our laundry in the light rain, ate ice cream from Miller’s Market.  Or rather, I had a chocolate/ vanilla swirl ice cream cone and Lauren had a chocolate milkshake.  DELICOUS!!!

As we were cooking our fried white perch, we saw a raft coming down the river with a man, a woman, a dog, and their camping gear.  They posed for a picture.  They looked like they were having a great time.

We saw 5 caribou sitting at Savage River and 2  moose along the Parks Highway.
