Day 21 Anchorage, AK to Seward, AK


Day 21 we drove from Anchorage, AK to Seward, AK.  It was a very beautiful scenic drive.  Leaving Anchorage, it follows the north shore of Turnagain Arm through Chugach State Park.  It permits a panoramic view of the south shore and the Kenai Mountains on the Kenai Peninsula. (I copied that from a book).

It was an easy 127 mile drive, and we arrived in Seward at 12:45 PM.  We stopped at the visitor center to check on camping parks, and saw a GREAT BIG BEAR!!!!  He was pretty nice though, and Dad and he talked for awhile (see pictures).

It turns out; camping at Seward is very easy.  The city controls the land along the bay, and has concrete curbs with numbers on them.  They also spray white lines every 20 feet marking the spot.  You just find an empty one and back in, and then go and self register and hang the ticket on your windshield.  The one we pulled into had no services (electric, water or sewer).  It was $15 per night.  A little further down the bay they had sites with electric and water, but the first two rows were taken and you would be in the back.  We liked our front row spot and it gave us a chance to pull out the generator and run it awhile to charge up the cameras, cell phones, I-Pads and the battery in the 5th Wheel.

We had a relaxing evening setting in our lawn chairs watching the boats go in and out of the harbor.

It appears that the quality of the pictures has deteriorated :-)
