Mt. Wrangell across the Copper River
We made it today to Eagle River, just outside Anchorage, where we are to meet with Colleen Polson (nee Crickett), Enid’s friend from Bickleigh. Right now I am at the public library (which is closed today, as it’s Sunday, but there is a strong open wifi signal in the parking lot) and Enid is just across the street doing the laundry.
Once again this morning was very clear, and so we had excellent views across into the National Park, and could see all the tall mountains clearly. We also saw a range of high snow clad mountains far to the north. The drive across to Anchorage was uneventful, though we did stop at the Matanuska Glacier where it comes down out of the mountains. It is very large, and fills the entire valley. We had our lunch here of chicken sandwiches, including the wild cranberries which Enid cooked last night.
Tomorrow our plans are to be in Anchorage, do some shopping at REI, and then we will probably head down the Kenai Peninsula towards Seward. We plan to stay there for around a week, and hope to go out on some ocean kayaking, and possibly an ice tour on a boat.
