Relaxation

Day 16 was  planned for a mountain top hike after a short 200 mile ride to the south side of Denali.  During the night rain set in and continued through the morning.  After a reality check of 15 consecutive days riding a motorcycle and 3 days to burn before our family arrives in Anchorage, we took the opportunity to stay put, watch the rain fall from inside the hotel and relax.  We caught up on reading  (I finished 'In to the Wild'-great book to read in AK), my daughter watched a couple movies, we did laundry and shopping to replenish the supplies for my 3,500 mile solo journey home.

Rain is forecast throughout the area of Fairbanks and Denali for the weekend, so getting wet may be inevitable.  The only pic to share is of my daughter holding a bouquet of flowers for her mom, sent via text with a message that they are for her and that we miss and love her.

Day 17 we ride rain or shine.  If the weather Gods are on our side we will catch a glimpse of Denali Mountain.
