The End of the World

Sue, Barbara, and I rode in Susan's boat today - me in back for a change. We stopped for lunch and Sue spotted 2 wolves running in the distance - a white one and a dark one. It looked like they were playing chase.

We stopped to set up camp on a sandy area next to a creek. The terrain is flatter - less mountains though still hilly. We're about 10 miles from the Arctic Ocean and can see the flatness of the northern horizon. Susan says, "The end of the world."

Today is Sue's birthday and we celebrated with gingerbread and cream birthday cake - complete with candles. We also presented her with a book on Denali since she will be going there after this river trip.

After dinner we took a short hike up the hill to a high knoll where we could look down to see the Kongakut spreading out into multiple channels.
