Moose encounter
I had my first moose encounter this morning about 7:30 in the dark on a walking path in downtown Anchorage behind the Sports Complex/Civic Center place. I was walking with my new friends Jane, Tobasco and Osita. We were expecting the moose because Jane sees them every day when she walks this path-I guess this is were they live. There was a bull with a lovely rack, a cow and her yearling. Unfortunately, I did not have my camera so no pictures. I'll try next time.
I spent about 7 hours on the road today (after waking at 5am and walking about 3 hours this morning). I went to Denali Park and saw the awesome Denali or Mt. McKinley. I have some pictures I will post tomorrow but unfortunately my batteries died and I left the replacements in Anchorage. Still I have pictures of the great mountain. I am tired from all day in the car and the batteries are dead so you have to wait until tomorrow to see the pictures! I haven't seen them either so I hope the wait (and the hours in the car) will be worth it!

I am glad you got to see the mountain. It is so majestic. I hope you had a good clear view. Also great that you had your first moose sighting. They are so fun to look at.
