We decided to got out for pizza for our last night in Denali. Had a pretty good pizza for $9.99 and a draft beer for $2.50 which is a real good price for a tourist town. After the meal we decide to do one more trip into the park to look for a moose. We had seen one from far away but hoped for a more close up look. Drove into the park 15 miles and saw one caribou at a distance and talked to a few people in the parking lot about different animals they had seen. Well still no close up of a moose until we were about 3 miles from leaving the park when right beside the road was a moose and her 2 calves. It is always when you don't expect it that they appear. Stopped the truck and took several pictures when the moose and her calves started coming right toward us. They are really pretty big animals and quite magnificant looking. We were so excited to see this moose and her calves close up. It made our trip to Denali complete:))
Got up the next morning and made the drive over to Fairbanks/North Pole, staying closer to Fairbanks but the campground has a North Pole address. We are at the Riverview Campground which has nice long sites with grass, wifi and cable tv. First thing was to restock the camper with food and everyday items. So off to Walmart we go, it is great to be able to purchase everything at reasonable prices. You would all feel this way after you see your favorite box of cereal for $7 in one of the tourist towns and you get it for under $5 at Walmart.
We will be here 4 nights and already have plenty to do.
