Close up on the Denali Highway

In Denali we were awestruck at statuesque caribou standing in the far distance. This reverence left at a surprisingly brisk pace when one of these glorious creatures became the tiresomely stupid beast that was hogging the road in front of us. We learned that caribou have no comprehension of the simple concept "passing lane" and we plodded down the road behind the ambling beast. We were cured of the Denali cult of animal worship and Grandpa was heard to mutter "idiot" as the road block finally wandered into the brush.
