The dream comes true

Fall in Denali. Is this our Earth?


And here is the bear.....................







Nothing compares to McKinley (perhaps the Great Canyon)



We are now having breakfast in Talkeetna, which is a small tiny little village near Denali Park. After snooring (sleeping is ok) for ten hours more or less. And i´m with a T-shirt and short pants. Can you dig it? This is summer, people from Berkeley. What are we doin´ to Pacha Mama? How long is the Earth gonna be rolling? I even can say anything, but i´m sure that something is happening and we don´t know what it is (Thanks Bob), or do we?
But can you imagine driving a car and near Talkeetna and without notice anything and expecting anything too, suddenly there it is, the Mont. Mckinley.





The weather was terrific so we decided to flew yesterday (two days ago) over the McKinley, why not? And was gorgeous, was incredible, amazing indeed. I have to think really hard to remember something like flying around the McKinley and its glaciers. Perhaps, only The Great Canyon comes to my mind. But it´s completely different. We landed on one of the glaciers too and it was awesome. 

 






Do you see the blue light and the holes? OMFG, OM FUCKIN´ G.





And we landed too.............




And we continued the flight and it was outstanding. The glaciers, the light, the scenery, the pilot jajajajaj



Si vis pacem, parabellum, that is Javi´s T-shirt but you can not read it. And the other one is the great Strummer of The Clash, of course, reaching Heaven again.

Finally we decided to come back to Talkeetna, and i took the plane because we are from Bilbao (Basque country) Why not? jajajajaj

Just kidding my friends.

As i told you before its difficult to see something like that. But you are smart so with the pics and the writing i think you can imagine more or less how it was.

Now i´m tired. We have been hiking in Denali. Not too much, only three hours but the landscape is out of control.

We can not understand why but luckily the fall (autumn) is here to stay and it´s exploded completely in Denaly park. I will show you in the next post. Its raining and it´s cold but during the morning the weather has been ok. WE can not complaint, my friends.
