Day 17 Actualy Ends in Palmer

We’re not where we were two hours ago. Nope, we’ve moved on from our boondocking spot on the Knik River Flats to a campground in Palmer.

Why? The party gang showed up around 9:30p ... loud music blaring ... bass pounding. Yes, there was only one van, but we didn’t know if more would show up.

So, we decided to move on before it got much darker. After all, we only have 17+ hours of daylight these days, so it does get dark ... not that we’re awake to see it!

When the van showed up, I was reading the Parks Highway section of the Milepost and had just come across an ad for the Big Bear RV Park. So, we headed 17 miles into the city to stay there. We lucked into an end unit in the “deluxe” section ... deluxe, I think, because there is decent spacing between the sites ... and there is 50A FHU.

Mui’s already in bed. And I am about to follow. I’m sad that we had to give up our boondocking spot, but at least we’re guaranteed a peaceful night of rest here.Læs mere
