Time For a Little Trip, care to join us? A few sights on the way to Camp.
|
After leaving the Portage Glacier we headed north towards the forests that we are here to check out. But before getting too far north we made a few stops in Anchorage to pickup supplies and do a bit of touristing. |

Santa was not in when we stopped by so we visited with one of his reindeer instead. Next Sally met a very big fellow who seemed to be made of stone. A replica of the cairn type trail markers often found in some of the rugged parts of the state that are too harsh for trees or much of anything other than rocks and ice. |
| Next we met this fellow who appears to be hopelessly lost, somebody should really tell him that this is black and brown bear country, his friends and relatives seldom get south of the tundra and all of the seals that they are so fond of in the arctic ocean. |  |
 |
I seldom see brown bears or grizzlies, but these fellows seemed very friendly. Hopefully they will be the only brown bears that we get up close and personal with on this trip. |
|
Here we found a two story Chocolate fountain and some very large candy bars. It would have taken up our entire food budget to buy one of these large treats, but the storekeeper did encourage us to use one for a photo prop. I feel kind of bad for the guy who eventually spends his life savings to buy this candy bar only to find about ten thousand germy fingerprints on it. |
 |
 |
Eventually play time must end since we do have a few hours to drive before finding our camp. |
|
And it is always nice to get to camp while it is still light enough to find a little firewood.

Well friends, it's time for bed now, tomorrow is a busy day of tromping through the woods, feel free to join us when the next batch of pictures shows up, I am sure you will be glad that you did.
