Got up at 6 a.m. as we had purchased tickets for the 8:30 a.m. riverboat cruise and wanted to get there early for a good seat. The cruise on the Chena and Tanana Rivers was real good. We heard a presentation given by Susan Butcher and saw her dogs. We were glad that Simba didn’t come along, as she hates dogs. Butcher’s home is on the shore of the river; the boat stops there and she talks with a wireless microphone connected into the ship’s PA system. She won the Iditarod race three times. Also, had a short stopover at a re-created native village where I took many pictures.
In the afternoon, I drove to a park on the river near where the boat turns around and took this photo of the Riverboat Discovery when it came by on its afternoon trip. 22 miles today 4124 total
