June 28-29, 2009 – Eagle River and Anchorage

On Sunday, 28th, we left Denali National Park in the rain and headed down the road.  After about 30 miles, the rain stopped and the skies cleared so we were able to see the mountain one last time:

And our last look at the Alaskan Range:

We arrived at Eagle River State Campground, set up, went to Wal-Mart, and then made a stop at the Elks – nice lodge and had a wonderful time.  Back at the campground, we enjoyed another campfire for a short time (it was raining off and on – :-().

Monday, 29th, we went into Anchorage to the post office for my package (thanks, Tina) and then we just did a little walkabout downtown. 

I had to get a picture with a moose – :-). Isn’t he cute:

We bought reindeer sausage sandwiches from one of the street vendors and listened to some local musicians:

What a nice afternoon.

This is our last night here – we are off to Seward tomorrow.  Our plans are to head back this way and spend some time in the Anchorage area.  And of course stay at this campground.
