Making Plans

After a good night's sleep, Vince and I were ready to do some scouting. We had a quick breakfast, helped Vern load up his 4-wheelers, and the three of us headed out to search for a good site for our moose camp.

Vern led us to an area with lots of willows (a.k.a. moose food!)

It wasn't long before we settled on a spot. We found a location close to a clearing that would give us a good vantage point, marked our site, and headed back to Vern's to unload the ATVs and firm up our plans for September. With that taken care of, Vince and I had to begin our journey home- our 3 weeks off was quickly coming to an end! We thanked Vern for his hospitality, packed up the car, and started back toward the Denali area for one more night near the park.

We found a great place to stay!

We checked in, grabbed our keys, and headed for our cabin

It was the perfect place for the final night out on our trip :)
