Day 17 - Aug 20: Denali Highway to Paxson

The AC'12 convoy back-tracked down the George Parks Highway to Cantwell, Alaska in order to drive the Denali Highway from Cantwell to Paxson.  This should be a neat experience across the wilds of Alaska.  It is only 155 miles, but is likely to take them all day.

Day 15 - Aug 18: Denali at Last!

The views today must have been spectacular (if the weather cooperated)! Travel north on the George Parks Highway brought the convoy to Denali National Park, home of Mt. McKinley. There are many names on this map that are so familiar to me: Susitna, Talkeetna, Willow.

I need to add that today the AC'12 Convoy stopped at the Alaska Veterans Memorial. It is located in Denali State Park (which lies adjacent to the National Park and SW of Cantwell). Pictures I have seen of the memorial show that it is pretty awesome.
