(Day 63); Homestead RV (Palmer) to SourDough RV (Tok)

On the Road again, just can’t wait to get on the road again, da da da da da da, just can’t wait to get on the road again! We are hugging our new friends, saying goodbye and then out of the campsite at 0745 hours. Our first stop . . . The Moose is Loose Bakery. The baked goods are expensive (but what isn’t in Alaska with the extra transportation costs) and they have a wonderful gift shop. Stephen found PJ bottoms that are forest green with Moose’s, OF COURSE, and said that I needed those. They came with us. As did lots of bakery goods. We dropped the rent a wreck, put air in the tires then were headed north










The scenery on Turnagain Arm was beautiful and though the sun wasn’t shining this time either, at least it wasn’t raining. We stopped to take pictures a couple of times of the wildflowers, the train tracks and then the Alaskan Rail, small waterfalls, majestic mountains, and just fun silly stuff. We had intermittent phone calls with family and friends but the mountains, hills, weather, made the phone commo pretty inconsistent.




After a stop in Anchorage for fuel and to make lunch, we were northbound and down . . . to Palmer on the Glenn Highway. We arrived at 1430 hours, found a nice spot at Homestead RV (all pull throughs) and after situated, took pictures, showers, had dinner and performed what may be our last WIFI experience. We are beat. So are the pups. The scenery & wildflowers continue to be awesome, the people just so very very nice and this is an experience we’ll repeat.
