By the end of our long day yesterday we were all so tired none of us had anything witty to say. The drive from Anchorage to Denali was magical, it started out just a highway with northern forests on either side, which in our dazed minds felt like we could of been in any great nothern forest. And then, seemingly out of no where there were these big unbelievabley beautiful mountains. And then we were in them, and what do you know, we saw a moose! We really are in Alaska!
After having survived our first night of 21 hours of daylight(Sunrise 3am, sunset 12:47am), I can honestly say we were all weirded out by falling asleep at 10pm with it still bright out, but we were all so tired I don't think anyone had any trouble falling asleep. In our cabin we threw a blanket over our windows to keep out the extra light. Its 7am now, Tonys group is preparing breakfast, and my group has packed lunches for the hike today. Our first full day in Alaska. I can't wait!
