We drove back to Fairbanks and flew down to Anchorage and hired an RV and then drove to Talkeetna airstrip where we flew around Mt Mcinley the highest mountain in North America 20,000 ft

It's quite rare to see the summit as it's normally in the cloud

yes very interesting, and what's more later when I get a little vague about it I can come back to it and see it all again, important when your memory is beginning to get dim, I have all my old European truck cine and stills on a disc some place, all I need to do is remember where it is, the only good point is I know it is here somewhere, as long as I can find it before optical disks become old hat, SO YES PLEASE KEEP IT GOING, Rick
