Denali Day 4

Day 40, Monday, 7/27: Broke camp, took the trailer to the parking area, headed to the Mercantile for firewood and ice and then off to Teklanika. It is a nice drive and soon after the Savage Creek Campground you enter the tundra. Didn’t see any critters today but hope to see some on the bus ride tomorrow. The campground is remote but nice sites and we did see a few big rigs here. It has been windy and the mosquitoes are out (unlike Riley Creek where we didn’t have a problem with them). Partly cloudy with some sun breaks. We took a walk around both loops of the campground and found the bus stop for tomorrow’s excursion. Need to be there by 6:30 AM…. so we will need to set an alarm. Also hiked out in the river bed. It is a very wide bed with streams flowing through it. Someone said they had seen a moose on the hillside but we didn’t see it.
