Denali and REI, Two Biggies


 
(1) Mt Denali/McKinley from Parks Highway heading to Anchorage, only about 30 miles from the mountain.  This is from a mountain viewing rest stop where many folks gathered to view the "Tall One" which is what Denali means. Spectacular day for viewing and even locals are amazed at how clear the mountains are.  There is a large information board with the mountain range displayed.  There are a lot of really big mountains (9,000 feet and more) and one little one at 6600.  That teeny mountain is bigger than our grand Mt. Washington in NH. 
 
(2) The Anchorage REI, one of the top 5 biggest REI's. Busy, lots of gear but not the one little item I wanted.  I have to believe this is the furthest north and west of all the REI's.  Is Boston the most easterly? 
 
Disclaimer and excuse department.  (1) I have gone back to left justified as centering seems to do strange things to my post even though it looked great to me before hitting "publish."  (2)  Sometimes when I select a photo, I can't seem to deselect the choice.  That's why there are two caribou photos.  (3)  About typo's, I am not working under ideal conditions.
