Down the road we headed to Anchorage. After a little souvenir shopping, we went for a 15 mile bike ride along the Tony Knowles costal trail. It was a beautiful ride and a quick escape from the city.
Today was reprovisioning day, hitting REI and Fred Myers (think about a store somewhere between Walmart and Target 🎯. We have another week left before we head home, mostly on the Keani Peninsula.
Tonight we are camped at Bird Creek campground, between Anchorage and Girdwood on the tidal Turnagain Arm. We have a lovely site and will undoouitably sleep well tonight.
Our bike ride today, 16 miles. I tried to get a picture of a FedEx aircraft, but they were parked too far away.
Love it! You went through Palmer (and Wassilla, home of Sarah Palin, did you see Russia LOL?). I have skied that bike trail - its part of the Tour of Anchorage - to Kinkaid Park. Im enjoying the blog - will get there again soon!
ReplyDeleteThat is very funny.... I actually did think of that when we passed through Wassilla. I have just finished listening to Tina Fey's autobiography Bossypants. It is very funny and she had the whole story and audio of the first time she played Sarah Palin (and saw Alaska from her backyard). I would like to hear about the tour of Anchorage.... must have been fantastic
