Snow on the mountaintops, clouds in the valleys, and rain
everywhere!
It’s another rainy day, but at least this was one that had
been planned for travel. We stopped by the Kenai airport to return the rental
car and then proceeded to the end of the Sterling Highway, turned north on the Seward Highway, and headed along the
Turnagain Arm toward Anchorage. On this
return trip, it was high tide along the Turnagain, so the huge mudflats were
gone. There were still quite a few
fishermen along Bird Creek where we had camped a week ago.
Going through Anchorage, the rain let up. Just north of Anchorage, we turned east on
the Glenn Highway, heading toward Palmer, Glenallen, and ultimately
Valdez.
We stopped for the night at King Mountain State Recreation
Site, a small campground along the Matanuska River. The sun actually came out for a while, so
Ranger was able to get a good walk and some outside time. It stayed nice until after we had started our
campfire, at which time the wind rose, the black clouds rolled in, and the rain
started again. So we retreated inside,
to a dinner of pork BBQ and beans, and a quiet evening of reading. No electric, no water, no cell service, and
no internet here.
