No room at the Inn-Denali National Park

We usually "fly by the seat of our pants" and seldom make reservations. I once knew a guy that made reservations at every motel, campground, and attraction on a four week trip out west. That's too much pressure for me-staying one extra night at an interesting place would screw up the entire plan. Anyway, after riding a long dusty.washboard, dirt road (Denali Highway) we rode to Denali National Park. It was five in the evening and we saw the dreaded sign-"All campgrounds full"! I pleaded my case with the check-in person and she looked for "no-shows" but, everybody "showed". Just then, like a ray of sunshine after a storm, a guy walked up and said," Hi Bruce,..............." It was Ed and Sue Reagan from Easton, Pa. They "took us in" and kindly shared their campsite and food. We stayed up late (9:30) and swapped tall tales-they were great. We must be the "stray dogs" of Alaska-with kind people feeding and "housing" us.
I flipped over my "Alaska or Bust" sign-it now reads "Pa. to Alaska-Semi Wild Hogs". If I had some paint I would change it to the "Stray Dogs".
Speaking of a small world-I shouldn't have written any words associated with "Small World". The Disney Song, It's a small small world gives me STS (stuck tune syndrome)-I sing it over and over-I guess it will replace "Kiss and Angel Good Morning"!
How I digress-two days ago we stopped at a little cabin that sold ice cream. We were inside eating a cone when a group came in and one woman asked who here was from Pa. (there were only six people in the store). I said I was and she looked at me and then asked, "Who rode those motorcycles all the way from Pa."? I took off my hat exposing gray hair and said, "Was that a shot? You didn't think this gray-haired guy could ride that far". She turned red and stammered.
LSS(long story short) she was from Willow Grove-knew me -I had taught her brother and another in the family. It's a small world after all-It's a small small world *(I hate that song).
