our first look at a peak (think this one is hunter?)
lots of rivers converge around Talkeetna
up through the clouds
when we took off there was no guarantee we would see peaks or a glacier
a little hungover, but ready to fly up to Denali
this beer knocked them down at West Rib
pretty good apple beer/hard wine type thing
downing a beer at one stop in Talkeetna
we stayed in a room above the bar - it worked

bore tide wasn't too impressive this time - maybe next time
goats up the mountain
we spotted an otter as the tide came in
looking for sheep (he actually found goats!)
Bird Point - chasing bore tides
Ryan's caught his fish faster
catching a fish simulation at Bear and Raven
silly hot air balloon simulation

Ryan was listening to the ranger - while I playe with my new camera (thanks Jason for the birthday/Christmas present!)
