| Downtown Anchorage |
We have been
on the road for over a month now. The mileage on the road has now reached over
7,000 miles. It is time to change oil, filter, check fluid levels, rotate tires
and of course time again to do laundry. I was going to handle the oil change
myself. But another quirk of faith made go in different direction and have all
of that done.

A short 37
mile drive down the road to Anchorage area we arrived at JBER (Joint Base
Elmendorf Richardson). The combine or joint Air Force Base and the Army Fort
Richardson Base were our first stop. I had stayed on the AFB many times in the
mid 80’s and wanted to see what changes had taken place. Many things have been
improved, housing looks modern and the on post mall is new since my last visit.
As our “canoe was drifting around” we accidently discovered a military RV park
on the AFB. We checked it out and found a few empty hookup sites. We did a
self-registration and dropped the $18 check in the drop box. Now that we were
set for the night, we headed to the visitor center in downtown Anchorage. (The
visitor center is sort of the hub of tourism) We walked 4th Ave and
checked out were the 1000 mile Iditarod sled dog race starts. Metered parking
was a problem downtown so we decided to take a city trolley tour to cover all
of the point of interest. It was well worth the price! I had been here several
times and learned more in this tour then all of my previous visits. Before we
knew it the day had passed and back at the campground were we doing laundry and
it was 10:30 before we finished. Adventure traveling is exhausting with long
days. I wouldn’t have it any other way!
That is what
we did and saw
