Anchorage, AK

We have had several days in Anchorage to re-provision and get clean. The RV and car were really dirty after the trip up here, and as of today we are once again clean! We have been getting ready for the twins arrival tomorrow, on their 11th birthdays. They get here about 5:30 pm which will be 8:30 their time. We will go immediately to dinner at a very cool place, giving a taste of Alaska and the gold mining culture. I think there is a big stuffed grizzly in the lobby area, too.

Yesterday I did a walk down by the train station and took a couple of photos. Very picturesque. The Alaska Railroad main track is about one hundred yards from the RV park we are staying in. Fortunately they are pretty quiet at night, if not during the day!










Today both of us did a run on the Tony Knowles Trail, also very close to the RV park, which runs along the shoreline of the Knik Arm of the Cook Inlet (I think I have that right). This photo is looking east toward the Chugash Mountains over a lagoon of the Chester River which flows into the Knik Arm. The salmon are running on many of the rivers, but have not come in here yet, either on Chester Creek or on Ship Creek, where the salmon derby, called Slammin' Salmin is currently underway. We walked over there the other night and didn't see much happening.
