Along the Denali Highway

One recent night Roger and I drove down the Denali Highway and we spotted a car off the side of the road.  As we approached it, we noticed that the red light is flashing on the dash and we can smell gasoline.  The car is on its roof and there are bullet holes shot in the side of the car.  We're afraid that someone is inside......nope no one inside, did they fly out of the car.......called and looked down in the valley, no one.  We have no phone service, we'd better head back to Cantwell (about 20 miles) and report the accident.
Scary!
We went directly to the State Troopers office and reported the accident.  Apparently, it happened the previous night.  All the trooper would say was "we dealt with the incident the previous night".  There is definitely more to this story!

I'm not sure if I've posted a picture of our campsite recently, I want to show you how beautiful it is in the fall.  There's a little "termination dust" on the mountain in the background.

We leave Cantwell RV Park tomorrow morning.  It's a bittersweet day, I'm anxious to go to Minnesota and see family, I'm excited for our new adventure to Florida this winter, but I'm sad to leave the beauty of Cantwell and the surrounding area.
