AK Trip - Day Twenty - Thursday, July 5th.,

A Rainy Day in Anchorage


Well, there was nothing adventurous about today. We are at the Super 8 in Anchorage and the temps are in the low 50’s with a steady drizzle.

This morning I spent a good deal of time on the laptop and cell phone re-arranging our motel reservations to accommodate the Haines to Prince Rupert ferry ride.

Later, we rode downtown to find the Lake Clark NP stamp. We finally located the stamp in a Federal building, next to the largest downtown mall.

We also stopped at a Wal Mart and bought snacks and tie down straps for the upcoming ferry ride.

After lunch at Gwennies, a local eatery, we came back to the motel to catch up on our laundry and rest a bit.

Tomorrow morning we will head back up to Wasilla to get my new tire installed, visit with Wheeldog, if he's around, and sight see some in that area. The weather forecast for tomorrow looks much better with predicted sunshine and low 60 temps.

I have booked a room in Wasilla for tomorrow night. I am not sure if it has Internet connections or not. If not, hopefully we'll have access in Valdez.

  1. Well, on a trip that covers this many days and miles you are going to have some cool rainy days, the rest is probably good for you!
