Yesterday our plan was to check on the trailer status and grab a few more items from the traipurchase a few things including tent and sleeping bags for our tent/truck camping adventure. Of course, all of these items we own but they are back in Sherburne. After a productive stop and REI we are now ready to head south. Our goal for the day was to make it to Denali State Park maybe 70 miles south of Denali National Park. After over an hour of heading south we find a text message from our friends saying we left a few items out in the yard near our truck. We needed those items for our camping sans trailer trip so we turned around and spent another night in Fairbanks.
Today we restart our attempt at tent camping. After saying goodbye to Laurie and Brian we started south once again. We arrived at a state campground in Denali State Park about 70 miles south of Denali National Park. Most of the sites are suitable for RV camping but we luck out and find one that is secluded, flat and has a gravel free area for the tent. The area is not mosquito free but we have our large screen tent that fits over the picnic table. Life is good.
