Anchorage and onwards...........
Lake Louise was beautiful and even featured an island with a few houses on it! We were lucky to see a caribou (with antlers) walking along the road in front of Nessie! In Palmer we visited the Musk Ox Farm and found out about these animals that existed in the ice age and have a woolly coat that will continue to keep them warm at a temperature of minus 80 degrees! They are not as big as bison and look like a cross between a highland cow and an ox. We could also imagine these animals to be happy up in the Scottish Highlands. We enjoyed staying at the Town and Country RV Park in Palmer and learnt more about the Glenn Highway which is now a National Scenic Byway. Our last stop before reaching Anchorage was at the Eagle River Park where the children collected more fire wood for a campfire. When we got into Anchorage, we stayed at a camp near to the airport as we were collecting a very special guest early the next day. We sorted out Nessie to accommodate another person, as our very good friend Chelle has flown in via New York and will spend 10 days travelling Alaska with us. We thought that it might add a different flavour if Chelle contributes to the blog for the time she is with us, as a visitor joining in with life on Macswayround!! Over to you -Chelle – and many thanks for your thoughts and hard work. It was great to see you again.
