Alaska Trip - Day 15

Breakfast with Father Mike in Palmer. Cathy was sick - Eileen thought it was strep throat and set up a doctors appointment. It turned out to be tonsilitis! Luckily, they have a good medical plan and we got some medicine for her. We had just enough time left to drive to Denali National Park via George Parks Highway. It got really cloudy and looked like rain - stopped soon after. Eileen and I had enough daylight to hike around Byers Lake while Cathy slept (medicine). Found a KOA north of Denali - it was nice to set up the tent again. We all made phone calls. I tried Christa in Fairbanks but she wasn't home. Nice talk with her mother (again)... We had a good camp neighbor - let us borrow can opener and offered coffee (Eileen accepted). People from Massachusetts next campsite over.
