Seward, Alaska

Musk Ox at the wildlife preserve....

On  Friday August 13th we moved to Seward, a small fishing village, the Southern end of the Alaskan railroad. We had a flat tire on the way down, ran on it a little bit before realizing it was going down and ended up buying a new tire. But on the plus side…no body or rim damage. After the flat we stopped at the Summit Lake Lodge for breakfast…very good. Rain comtiuned to follow us….we stopped at a wildlife rescue drive-thru park ….They provided a place for animals that had been injured in one way or another…some hit by cars or shot. Also in Seward, one evening, we climbed up a trail to the side of the Exit Glacier. On Sunday we went to church…they were having their 100th anniversary….1910-2010. It was a big ceramony with the Archbishop of Alaska and a free prime rib dinner after. ( We didn’t stay for the dinner). One rainy day we went to the town libary book sale and the Sealife Aquarium. The last night there we drove up to Bear Creek to watch the salmon run….bank to bank, all trying to get upstream.

Water fall in the middle of Seward....Glacial melt water.
