I decided that Denali was not going to get the best of me. With that in mind, I made my way to the south vista in Denali State Park to check out the Alaska Range (and hopefully, Denali itself). In the end, the mountain did win. You can see glimpses of Denali in the photo below - however, she decided to keep hidden again today.

In some despair, I headed off for Talkeetna, which bills itself as a "Drinking Town with a Fishing Problem." Actually, it also is a town with some great history and wonderful local art. Here's a couple of snippets from there.

I would be remiss without talking about the largest member of the deer family, which plays a large role in traffic excitement here in the Land of the Midnight Sun - the moose. Saw two today, however they didn't want to sit for portraits. While most of us in Wisconsin are used to seeing (and largely ignoring) signage similar to the one below for the moose's smaller cousins, when it's a 1,400 pound beast crossing the road one is more apt to pay attention.
