We stopped at the Alaska Veterans Memorial in the morning before we headed out for Denali NP.  The memorial consists of five 20-foot tall concrete panels, one each to represent the Army, Air Force, Navy, Marines and Coast Guard, arranged in a semi-circle.  The memorial also honors those in the Alaska National Guard and the Merchant Marine.  A statue of two Alaska Territorial Guards, carved by Canadian sculptor George Pratt, greet you at the entrance. On each panel is a short history of that branch's contribution to Alaska.  On a clear day, you can see Denali.  Unfortunately, we had cloudy and we did not get a chance to see Denali (a harbinger for days to come).  We passed over Hurricane Gulch and stopped to try and get a picture, but were not allowed to walk along the bridge.  We climbed up an ATV trail and  Ryan and I saw a lynx, apparently a rare sighting!  Made our way to Cantwell RV Park to shower and do laundry.  $5 showers and $5 for laundry (you could only fill the washer ½ way so we ended up with 3 loads!  Pulled into Denali and found showers and laundry and Riley Creek – will have to remember for Monday on our way out.  Made it to Teklanika campground in time for dinner and bed
