We went to the Alaskan Native Heritage Center just outside the gate. It was really interesting. I like seeing the young kids celebrating and sharing their heritage. We saw dancing and story telling, arts and crafts, and recreated examples of different types of native dwellings.
We ate lunch there and went back to camp to rest up (with a short stop for Baskin - Robbins) before heading out to flat top park.
After climbing some steep roads we were able to see all of Anchorage and lots of the surrounding mountains. We could also see the sea coast. They say on a clear day you can have a good view of Denali (Mount Whitney) 140 miles away. It was too cloudy for that, but there were tremendous views in all directions.
Made it back for BBQ'd pork chops, pasta salad and beans. We sure are eating good!
Cathy shared a story of a bear attack near here and another one a little south of here. When Molly and I go for our walks we are being very aware of all of surroundings. I feel a little better when Bill is with, because I think I can outrun him.
Tomorrow I'm getting the oil changed in my truck, and refilling propane tanks. Bill is getting some welding done on his trailer step.
We will spend one more night here and then head south on Tuesday.
