Seward

Day 4 June 19

We walked along the shore of Lake Kenai, where they have a "lifetime supply of skipping stones", according to Steve. It was a beautiful clear day, and we finally got a good look at the mountains surrounding us.



Exit Glacier. You used to be able to get close enough to actually touch this glacier, but it has receeded and that's no longer possible with wading through some pretty deep mud. We were probably 100 ft away in this picture.




Along the road to the glacier, there are signs with dates on them, indicating where where the glacier was in certain years. It's amazing to realize that the same ice that cools our drinks, carved this valley.



In Seward, we stayed at the Waterfront park, which is city owned, and right along the water. We could walk everywhere, leaving the RV parked. We got a good spot, in the first row, so we had an unobstructed view of the water and all the harbor activity. We saw sea otter, seals, eagles, and all kinds of boats. This was the view from our RV.
