GOING NORTH

Something about us going north, but I can’t remember what it is.  Some of the scenery today looked very familiar. Almost like I've been there before. Oh, that’s right we are going north because we are starting to head back to the United States. We have been on this highway before only going south. Today we drove right through Anchorage on our way to Palmer.

Interesting fact, we drove almost all day today on Alaska Interstate 1.  Alaskans don’t call highways by the numbers, so today we started on off on Sterling Highway to the Seward Highway then to the Glenn Highway but still on Interstate 1. Very confusing. We drove about 139 miles today until we missed our turnoff and had to double back. Pulling a U turn in the middle of road construction was challenging. The Taylors couldn’t make the turn and had to disconnect their car. We reversed ourselves and made it safely to the Palmer Big Bear KOA. We will stay put for the next three nights.

The drive today was spectacular even if we had seen these mountains before. The cliffs are so massive that we feel tiny driving down the highway. Just look at that little car.  And who could resist one more shot of the glaciers.
