Got up early and made coffee....Jerry and Frank took dogs for long walk on sand bar b/c tide was real low at 6:40 this a.m. I grabbed my coffee and walked down to the beach also...had to walk way down from campsite to get to where I could get out on the exposed sand bar. It was really fun to watch the dogs run and chase the sea gulls on the beach. They still haven't quite figured out salt water yet.....and they eat their share of whatever they can find that is yucky. Kudzu really seems to like salty barnacles to munch on. Gabby is a bit scared of the waves, but otherwise loves the running. When they both realized I was out there, at one point I thought they were going to swim across the water that was between the sand bar and where I was, but when I got out onto the sandbar they really came running.....Got some neat pictures of the scenery, kelp on the beach, sand patterns, dogs, etc.
Got back to RV, had a bit of breakfast and then headed out about 9:30 towards Anchorage. Stopped at Fred Meyer in Soldotna (kind of like Wal Mart, Northwest style) and picked up a few essentials. At one point on Copper Creek, the fishermen were still almost shoulder to shoulder. There was a very low tide at Turnagain Arm and it was amazing how much land was exposed. Decided to go on into Anchorage tonite rather than stop only 48 miles out. We were able to get signed onto Elmendorf AFB thanks to Frank and Barb. As we were signing up for our site, the camp host came out with the full sign. However, they had some overflow spaces with no hookups and we jumped on those. Got spaces on a paved lot and set up camp. Had a must go dinner of leftovers.
Jerry took dogs for a walk and saw a moose and a bear, but did not have camera. Came back for it and we all went....Frank and Jerry walked down to where he had seen the bear, but some kids had been down that way on bikes and he was long gone.
Back to RV, cleaned up a bit and then bed. Plans for tomorrow are kind of maintenance plans...guys have theirs and we have ours. More later...no internet here......
