Bill and I drove down to Miller's Landing, where we launched the kayaks the other day. It was an interesting road, with a lot of warning signs. The rocks that fell along the road were larger than our car. so we tended to heed the warnings!
After our drive around, we headed back toward Anchorage. We stopped at Girdwood to ride the tram up the mountain to the "seven glaciers" area, and had lunch up there. It was all very picturesque.
On our way into Anchorage we stopped at Flattop Mountain, where I wanted to get a photo, having climbed it in 2015. It was clouded over so that idea was scrapped and we turned the car in at the airport.
After resting a while my cousin Eric and his girlfriend Marissa picked us up at the hotel and we all went out for dinner and ice cream. It was a great time. Hs is a very interesting young man: he is a serious mountain climber and is on the rescue and recovery team for Denali. She works at the University of Alaska, Anchorage and also has a home-based clothing business. We were so glad we got to see them!
