On to Anchorage

On Thursday morning we said goodbye to our beautiful campsite on the Tolsona River and pointed the Winnebago toward Anchorage.  The Glenn highway offers some great views of the Chugach Mountains and its glaciers.  The Talzina glacier is first but difficult to photograph as there were no pull offs that offered good views of the glacier.  The Nelchina Glacier is another story as there were several good photo opportunities.

Lunch time found us at the Matanuska Glacier.  It has receded quite a bit since I was here in 1989 but still amazing.

Anchorage came into view at 3:00 PM and we were settled in to our campsite at the Ships Creek Landing a metropolitan RV park, which means that it is crowded and a bit noisy.  Both Mary and I suffered from big city (Anchorage has a population of 278,000) anxiety after so much time in the country.
