We found out something else that Alaskans do bigger and better than the lower 48.
Traffic jams!
Today it rained, and it rained and it rained, all day.
We went down to Seward to send E mails and do grocery shopping. The whole place was wet, and the clouds were hovering around the tops of the mountains, so no sun, no warmth and just a miserable day weatherwise.
We had a look at a river weir, where salmon were leaping, and it was one of the most difficult subjects to photograph. So, we have no pix. In fact, we have no pix today of anything, coz we didn’t see anything!
We decided to look at other campsites just for something to do. We drove down a 15 mile long dirt road, gravel and mud, to Cooper Lake, where we had been told there was a campsite and bears.
They lied. There were no bears. There was no campsite. There were no anythings. Not even a dead fish.
On the way back, on the main road, we hit a 15 mile traffic jam, due to a sinkhole appearing in the only road to anywhere, so we turned round, and spent a very pleasant 2 hours in the first restaurant we found, drinking Kodiak Amber, Captain and Coke
( Marlipops of course) and had a good meal.
We sat in the traffic again, but it wasn’t too bad this time.
There is not much else to report today, just not a lot done.
Wildlife watch today was a red squirrel and some magpies.
