A few days in Anchorage
We met back up with the Malimish and UpInTheAirstream families at the Anchorage Moose Lodge for a few days of relaxing while we awaited the mail to be forwarded. As it turned out, this Moose Lodge was a very happenin’ place, with patrons at the bar from open to close each day, and the half-dozen RV spots overflowing after more people came out to meetup for a few days (enter the Zimmermans, PerkyMog, Bodeswell families) making it four Airstream trailers, a vintage VW bus, and a Mog. What is a Mog?
By Saturday we were feeling a little restless so Kerri, Moose, and I went out to Eagle River Nature Center for a quick 4 mile hike which included a short jaunt on the Iditarod Trail of past years. Moose failed to understand the significance of a dog on that trail, he just marched on without a second thought.
Later that same evening, and the night before our departure, we accompanied Dave to the Tent City Bluegrass Festival which, by the way, did not feature a single tent.
Sunday morning we parted ways with the Airstream train on our way to Hope, Alaska. Not a long drive by any standard, but for the first time since crossing into Alaska we were feeling like *this* is true Alaska. And to back that thought up, a Bald Eagle made an appearance…
