WOW! It was worth every penny and getting up at 4am to catch the first bus tour into the park! As soon as I figure out how to actually download a video to this blog page you will all be able to see what I mean. Except it is going to be hard to decide which video to put on since there are SO many!! The bus tour is an 8 hour trip into the park with a very knowledgeable driver tour guide! We saw many animals today including: Moose, Caribou, Coyote, Fox, Golden Eagles, Dall Sheep, Snow Shoe Rabbits and best of all Grizzly Bears. I say Bear "s" because the best part of the whole trip was close to the end when a bunch of busses were stopped and parked in the road kind of weird and we didn't know what was going on until we saw it!! Right in front of the bus came a mama grizzly with two baby cubs! I got the BEST video of anyone partly due to the fact that I told the bus driver I had bad chlostraphobia and couldn't sit in the back of the bus so he gave us the seat right behind him! They were so close to us and walked right along the bus and didn't pay much attention to us at all. It was AWESOME!! Tomorrow we are on the train for a short trip to Talkeetna to spend a couple nights and do a river boat tour. Hopefully that will be all that it sounded like in the brochure. TIME FOR US TO REST SOME NOW!!

That is AWESOME!! I want to see that video. I bet you almost pooped your pants. I am so glad that you and Jim are able to experience this adventure together. Love ya and can't wait to hear more on how your doing.
So cool! Lucky you, you get to miss the hot humid weather we are having...yuck! Thank goodness for AC. Sounds like you are having fun, let's see that video!
I'm glad you made it safe and sound and it sounds like this trip is all that you anticipated it would be - and more - I am sooo jealous!!
Don't get too wet on the boat trip and continue to keep us posted - I love this virtual traveling with you guys.
Love ya,
Sandi
Hope you and Jim are taking it all in. Looks like you will have a great time. We will be thinking of you on Monday.
I need a grizzly bear rug for my house...see what you can do.
Neat! That's way better than watching the black bears eating trash in Canada!
On a side note, if you find yourselves in a shop that sells salmonberry syrup, could you pick me up a little jar? Yummy stuff, and from Alaska!
