ground squirrel, Denali Park. These poor things are the prey of Fox, Eagles, wolves, bears and just about anything else that eats meat which is the reason it's always sitting up and looking around for what's coming its way. Hope he made it through the day.
Riding through Thompson Pass heading north out of Valdez. This will give you an idea of the amazing scenery experienced on our 2300 mile motorcycle adventure through this spectactular, must see, state.
Traveling through some slightly large puddles on a service road which was part of Denali State Park, Alaska. I had to traverse about a dozen of these and then did the return trip. Amazingly nobody had to go swimming as a result but our boots were a little wet to say the least.
