5-25-13 Just a few moments before midnight of the 24th – the full golden moon pepped over the mountains……of course a picture never does the real thing justice --- but amazing and beautiful at midnight!
Enjoyed a surprise visit with John & Linda Acarregui and their son Michael before heading North to Fairbanks~300 miles.
Now before you wonder why we didn’t stop at Denali – the campgrounds and roads inside Denali are closed until June 1. So a scenic drive it was on this sunny day with frequent peaks of Denali.
Grand view of Denali at the South view point.
With wetlands along the way we passed many marshes, streams, ponds, lakes – some still with ice, others thawing. The closer to Denali there was more snow and ice.
Broad View Pass has new views of Denali.
There’s a lot to explore in Fairbanks!

Love the midnight moon rise photo. Glad you got the south view of the full Mountain. Were you able to get out to the Kenai Peninsula? Will you be looping back west to tour areas that have been closed? Enjoying your blog. We went to AK with Frank & Gloria King in 2011.
Hope to see things missed on the return trip -- if not - guess we'll have to come again.
