old man winter

Healy, AK. Near the park. Got a bus ticket to mile 52 tomorrow. Toklat. I think. Probably won't even get off the bus. Its supposed to rain again. 50°f with wind whipping rain right now. At least I won't be driving - and the wildlife may be out. Weather forecast looks like the denali view we had from Fairbanks last week may have been our best look. Like they say in Fairbanks: "it always rains for the fair." The Tanana river valley state fair. Rodeo tonight. The world's northernmost, though we already fell for that boast.  Visited park headquarters earlier. Lots of dining and lodging opportunities over at the park entrance, though nothing like a decent grocer. Should have brought more provisions. Maybe we'll finally get into the mre-style rice/beans I brought. Really raining now outside our windows here at the Alaskan Spruce Cabins. Cozy with sat. TV, Wi-Fi, kitchenette. Yay. What a funny word.
