08/23/05 Tuesday and 08/24/05 Wednesday - Seward to Palmer
08/23/05 Tuesday-08/24/05- Wednesday
It rained all night, off and on. We got up and got hooked up to travel in the rain. We traveled from Seward to Palmer. Our travel buddies were Art and Teri White. They are the only other full timers on the caravan. They are from Minnesota but have an address in Livingston Texas for their mail delivery. We left at 8:20 and got here about 12:30 and drove in the rain most of the way.
We drove roads that we had already been over all the way from Seward to Anchorage. We passed within a few blocks of the campground where we stayed in Anchorage. We had rain and a lot of high wind in the Anchorage area. Palmer, where we are now, is probably about 40 miles from Anchorage.
It cleared off about mid-afternoon and we were able to get out. Our next-door neighbor is from Albuquerque, NM. Rossana came over and invited us to eat dinner with them. They had another couple there that was also from NM. We had a nice visit with them. While we were eating Doris Cundiff came by and invited us to their house for desert. She and Marv celebrated their 49th wedding anniversary.
They bought a big cake and had everyone down for cake and coffee; we were pleased to get to share their day. There are a lot of couples on the caravan who have been married longer than 40 years.
Its Wednesday 08/24/05, and a beautiful day. I watched the sun come up over the mountain, sitting by a campfire eating biscuits and gravy. Our Holiday Rambler staff cooked breakfast for us this morning.
We were up late last night so Mary slept in, but I went to breakfast. We had a nice pavilion with a fire pit and the campground even provided the wood. We are having a turkey fry and salad bar dinner tonight, also provided by the staff.
I’m summarizing the day while it is still early. We are not doing anything today so I am trying to get my Journal caught up and posted to the blog. Mary says if there is bright sunlight later in the day she might go out and get some pictures of the mountains surround the park. The name of the park is Mountain View RV Park, and it really is.
