A long day

Once again two weeks has passed. She couldn't stand to sit more last Sunday, but we'll back date this and cheat if we can:-) Saturday HE and SHE abanndoned us for a very long day. They were excited when they got back at 11:00pm. Talked about seeing thirteen grizzlies. Not sure what the excitement was about, they could have stayed home and looked at the same Grizzly all day just like I did! They mentioned seeing Denali too, and a very long bus ride with alot of other new people. Someone had won the 'lottery' so they were able to ride all the way to the end of the road in Denali park. They never thought it would be so long...90 miles there, 90 miles in the park, 90 miles back. But oops, apparently 180 miles in the park and it was 35 mph with lots to stop and see....like 30 grizzlies. One mom, cub and yearling that walked right across the road between lots of parked cars. (Yes, very touristy we agree, but SHE hopes that's the last SHE'll see of them in her tenure in Alaska...at least that close up) There were lots of moose too. Why they needed to leave us behind for that too is beyond us, we've been seeing one almost every other day right in the side yard. One even ate the flowers in the flower bed. They got to see a wolf too, when SHE finally located it in the binoculars SHE saw it pooping (need I mention again, they could have seen that posture right in their own backyard too!) Sunday was spent trimming raspberry plants and spreading horse poop around the bottoms. SHE's hoping for a crop next year in her own back yard.
