Awoke to discover that the camp owner had supplied cinnamon buns and coffee for breakfast. We had already eaten our muesli so saved the buns for morning tea - they were yummy. We are enjoying driving on sealed roads again although the traffic is starting to get busier. Our morning stop was at the Alaska Veterans Memorial Park dedicated to the veterans of Alaska who have served their country at home and throughout the world. The main part of the site consists of five 20ft tall concrete panels, one each to represent the Army, Air Force, Navy, Marines and Coast Guard, arranged in a semi-circle in a natural grove of trees. On each panel is a short history of that branch's contribution to Alaska. A lovely setting looking towards the highest mountain (Mt McKinley) which unfortunately was not visible to us because of the fog. Nevertheless we all gathered for a group photo with the "invisible" mountain in the background.
We then drove on to our campgrounds in the Denali National Park. Our campsite is on the edge of a hill with views to some very picturesque mountains. An early night as we were both very tired and this is a 2 night stop.
