Little did we know that our grizzly adventure would get even better. After such an amazing day on the tour, it did not seem possible. Tuesday morning we moved Beast and mom and dad’s rig to a new campground at mile 29 called Teklanika River Campground (Tek). You have to have a reservation and a

Just when I thought the trip couldn’t get any better, amazingly it did. In fact, the last two weeks of the trip include many of the highlights of the whole trip.
