Headed out of Sourdough Lodge after a relaxing bath. We're driving to Fairbanks and have to make it by tonight. Its a long drive, and we were supposed to leave by 9. Its noon already!

A very rainy, cloudy drive out of Anchorage on the Parks Highway.
We detour to the cemetry in Talkeetna. We've sort of done this as a ritual everytime we've been in Alaska. Dunno why.

Back on Parks Highway, across the river Nenana.
