July 12, Seward to Eagle River, 141 miles


Yippee, Skippee we finally got some sunshine and warmer weather. Right now we are in Eagle River at 3:15 p.m., it’s 67 degrees and the sun is shining. It’s too early in the day to stop but we are meeting Andy and Gerri Anderson for breakfast in Anchorage in the morning before heading on to Tok and further south. Andy and Gerri gave us the boat ride to Soldovia from Homer on the 4th of July so going to say good-bye before we leave the area. Meeting for dinner tonight would have been better for us but they were busy canning all the fish they caught---lucky them. We stopped at the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center near Moose Pass on the way here today. They take wounded and orphaned critters and raise them to be released into the wild, if possible. It was an OK stop but not one of the better ones we’ve been to. We are staying tonight in a Fred Meyer parking lot. Eagle River has an ordinance against campers staying in parking lots but the manager said we could stay in the employee parking area behind the store. I don’t think anyone will see us here. Really nice of them. Will make sure we shop the store before we leave. That will be easy as it’s a great store. Too bad we don’t have them in Iowa.
