15-16 July 2018. Seward AK

Seward Boat harbor. They only get one cruise ship here at a time.

Most of the camping near Seward AK consists of gravel lots along the beach, with each vehicle shoe-horned in between other campers.  We found a spot a little out of town that was more eclectic.  The guy had homesteaded the area, and really like fishing.  His main passion was charter fishing boats, and this had evolved to having a campground (and cabins) for folk to stay.  We spent three nights here (it was our restocking time again) and we thoroughly enjoyed watching the charters come in and the fishermen show off their catches.

The camping sites were scattered among the trees, they had names, not numbers…

Our camping spot “Jill”,  the first night. Yes, there are 8 inches of blocks under those rear tires to make things level!

We moved the second night to the “Phil” site – much flatter, but much much muddier!

Rain left lots of puddles in the campground!
An odd looking rig at our campground.  Yes, the camper trailer has no wheels and is chained to a flatbed trailer.

We also had a chance to visit the Alaska SeaLife Center in Seward. They had some very educational displays!

14 July 2018. Road to Seward AK

We headed back along the Kenai Peninsula toward Seward today.  I made Chuck turn around so I could get a shot of this sign-

Moose warning signs – hopefully this number reflects moose accidents for the past year and not just the last two weeks!

Saw a fantastic chainsaw carving shop. Here is some of his art (we couldn’t afford any of it – and it wouldn’t fit in the camper, anyway)

Before hitting Seward – we stopped in at Exit Glacier.  This one is really cool because there are little signs along the road signifying the spots where the glacier had moved from with the year, e.g., in 1957 it was here – in 1845 it was here, etc.
