Seward

We spent a couple days in Anchorage taking care of many little details and repairs.  Our furnace is once again working as well as the rest of our gas appliances.   The LP regulator in our 5'er went bad and was causing a lot of weird problems with the propane.  No fun when the furnace quits in the night when the temps are in the low 30's.   Did some grocery shopping, went to the Alaska Zoo and cleaned the grime and mud off the 5'er and truck.   Even though after washing they both were quickly covered in a thin layer of ash from the large out of control fire in the Kenai south of Soldotna.  The sky is quite overcast because of the fire.

Cooking fresh Halibut for dinner.

Now we are in Seward Alaska camped on Resurrection bay.  The rear of our RV is made up of a bunch of windows which allows us to sit back there taking in the comings and goings on the bay.   Last night Yvonne made some Hot Otters (Hot chocolate, Baileys Irish creme, Kaluah and Peppermint Schnapps) while we watched seals and otters in the bay.  Plus there was plenty of boat traffic.  This is without a doubt our favorite place in Alaska.  It's a laid back small town with a lot of history.  The big earthquake in 1964 completely destroyed this town.  After the earthquake a giant Tsunami came in and wiped almost everything out.  It was a terrible disaster.  So they moved the town a little more inland when they rebuilt and use the waterfront now for RV's to park.  Sure hope we don't feel any large scale earthquakes this week.

It's relaxing to park the rig and disconnect for a few days without having to worry about making miles.  This morning we woke up to rain which is good news for the Kenai peninsula and the people dealing with that out of control fire.  Good day to get a good book and sit  by the window reading  ... with a couple "hot otters" of course.
