Today was a long (10 hour) drive to Kennicott and Wrangell-St. Elias National Park. We stopped at the Visitor Center to get our requisite photo of the sign, chalking up number 55 on our quest for all the National Parks (eight more to go). There was lots to see along the way. My concern was that we would end up late and miss the shuttle bus. We just made it and rode up to the Kennicott Glacier Lodge for five nights. We met some friends we made at Bettles Lodge and had dinner with them. Good food, good friends. Life is good.
