June 4 Day 26

Chuck awakes at 8:00, while Pat sleeps in to 9:00 as it is still raining which is normal for Portage. After breakfast we head to the Portage Visitor center. Walking from the RV to the entrance doors is a challenge in the blowing wind and rain. This is really our first day of bad weather on the entire trip.

We take our time visit the Portage visitor center, and when we exit the rain and wind have stopped. We then head to the Portage Lodge for a short visit following which we drive toward Anchorage and stop at Girdwood. As we enter Girdwood, we first stop at the Chugach National Forest Headquarters, as we have always past by the visitor’s center but never stopped in.

We pick up some literature and then continue on to the Alyeska Lodge. We tour the grounds and then head over to the Art Gallery that we enjoy, before heading to Anchorage.

The drive to Anchorage is along Turnagain Arm, with a twisting road that has great views as the sun is out and we watch the tide going our. We arrive at our friend Karen’s house were we will be staying until we depart on Monday.  We have activities planned with Karen and also with Brenna and Zach for the remainder of our trip. The RV gets turned in on Thursday morning, so Chuck will clean out the RV on Wednesday.

This basically ends the blog, and hope you have enjoyed reading our experiences
