Jean - you can see Denali? Man, I'm jealous. when I get used to my negative scanner, I'll have to show you some of my pictures from my Denali back country adventure - we had astonishing weather and the mountain was out for 4 of the 5 days we were backpacking.
Well, yes, I can see Denali from up here in Fairbanks. Thing is, every single time I drive down the Parks Highway to see Denali clouds cover the mountain. Not the rest of the mountains, mind you, those will be crystal clear and stunning, meanwhile DENALI is totally shrouded. It really drives me crazy. I've been trying to see that mountain close up for YEARS. [

I like Kenai, too. Matanuska. Maybe too much of a mouthful. Chitna. But Chena is prettier. There's Nenana (a river and glacier). [/font]
Well, I like Chena, Galena and Kenai. Matanuska is nice if you call her Matty for short. Nenana is pronounced Nee NA Nuh, and the NA rhymes with the short a in Sam. Nenana is a cute little town, too.
There's also Kodiak, Katmai, Naknek, and one that sounds like something Tarzan would say: Savoonga! Cheetah, Tantor! Savoonga! Umgawa!
