The two RV Gypsies went on an ATV backcountry tour in Denali July 5, 2009 |
The two RV Gypsies arrived a bit early for
the ATV tour, so they were given a free round of miniature golf and a soda. |
|
There was still a bit of time before the ATV tour so the two RV Gypsies walked down the street to view the horses. | |
Black Diamond ATV tours guided the two RV Gypsies as they each drove their rented 4-Wheel All Terrain Vehicle, ATV, into the backcountry of Alaska, through an old coal mining trail and through the dry Creek River bed where Athabaskan Indian artifacts have been found in archeological digs. However, they were so busy trying to get over the extremely big rocks without tipping their ATV over that they really did not see the scenery very much. This was a very dirty adventure, rough, but still a lot of fun. | |
Lee Duquette was on the ATV in front of Karen Duquette and kept aiming the small camera backwards without being able to look through the viewfinder. Most of the time, he did a good job at capturing Karen on the trail behind him. | |
A break to see the scenery |

Below: Two RV Gypsies and the rest of the crew left the dusty trail for a while and drove their ATV on rocks that just got bigger as the trail advanced. | |
A bit of dust on the two RV Gypsies but that's nothing compared to what's to come.............. | |
Karen Duquette got off the ATV to examine the wildlife footprint in the mud |
|
This was extremely rough terrain, over rocks, even bigger rocks, up and down tipsy curvy hills and lots of dust. | |
Is this dirty enough for you? |
