Today we drove down along the Turnagain Arm Fjord to the Kenai Peninsular. I know I am sounding like a broken record but again it was an amazing drive. Lots of lakes , rivers, snowcapped mountains and glaciers. There are more than 50 glaciers in the Anchorage area. We hiked two mile into Byron Glacier in the rain but it was well worth it because we got to stand on the Glacier. Pretty neat!
A little further on we saw Exit Glacier from a distance. That was a much longer hike and we were already very wet so we decided not to go in. We really like going to the visiting centers at these Glaciers because they are so interesting with lots of information. Dave is collecting stamps from all the National Parks in his Parks Portfolio. We drove into Seward, a town of just over 2000. It was named after Secretary of State, William Seward who engineered the sale of Alaska from Russia in 1867. The town was founded in 1903 when the railroad ended there and a port was built to move goods up to the interior. the Iditarod trail starts here and goes 1049 miles to Nome. We had dinner here, Dave had salmon and I had snow crab, very good.
