7 26 12 Palmer AK

Very interesting day.  Drove to Anchorage , had breakfast at good ole Denny's, then drove through the Golden Nugget Campground.  We went to the train depot and made reservations to take a train from Anchorage to Seward.  It will be just a day trip.  Leave at 6:45 and get back to Anchorage at 10:15, next month!  Decided to go to Girdwood and look at a campsite  that we have reserved for early next month.  Oh my....such beautiful scenery you have never seen.  The road curved around mountain after mountain with the water all along the side.  In the distance you could see snow capped mountains, one after the other.  The campground is in the Chugach National Forest which compromises the largest national forest in the world.  Found several sites that we like.  No one available to talk to so will have to decide what to do later.
 See how the road curves around the mountain


Beauty to behold
