Day 23 was spent backtracking on the road we took from
Anchorage to Steward on day 21. We
already have driven this road, but driving back on it, it looked
different. The mountains were beautiful
and we found diesel along the route for $4.15 at Girdwood and thought we found
a bargain.
We had to drive through Anchorage again. They do not have a bypass and you have to
drive right through the downtown.
North
of Anchorage, we got on the Glennallen Highway #1. It was a narrow two lane road that was very
winding. It ran along the Matanuska
River which started at the Matanuska Glacier.
The temperatures got relatively hot at 83 degrees. We had to run the air in the truck.
We stopped at Wilderness Campground at 4:30 PM. It was a beautiful campground along a creek,
BUT……. the mosquitoes tried to drain all of your blood out of you. After dry camping for two days in Seward, we
all took showers, and then did not want to put bug spray on, so we turned on
the air in the camper and stayed inside.
