You are having a grand adventure, CJ! Karen and I look forward to tales in person next Sunday night under the shelter with beers in hand.

Catman, yup... We got stories and some of them are true!

Looking forward to seeing you there!

In the meantime, check out this clip from Denali!

Here are three more clips from my trip to the Ruth glacier on the south side of Denali. The videos do not do it justice. The scenery is totally breathtaking. The air taxi operation charges 300 to $500 for this trip per person. if I came here commercial and was forced to take the air taxi knowing that I had my RV at home, it would have killed me! Haha

The following clip is a show that we saw at the Fairview Inn in Talkeetna. Everyone said that you should go to the show and they were right! Apparently everyone in Alaska knows Lulu small and she is a riot! She sings and jokes around. It is quite a take! This clip is only a minute from when they were first getting started. She's no spring chicken!

Angry Wrong clip
John, Based on your last post, I was anxiously looking forward to the clip of the night time show and you got the glacial clip in the mix by mistake?... :-(

Lulu Small was great as usual! Thanks for the invite to head to Talkeetna. Enjoyed our conversations.

Wishing you luck with the fishing today!

See you later today.
