Lunch @ Tern Lake

We left Heritage RV Park around 8:30a for a relaxed drive to Anchorage. We were hoping that by leaving the Kenai Peninsula on a Saturday instead of Sunday as originally planned, we would avoid the outflow of weekend traffic. That turned out to be a smart move.

The only stop we made on the way north was at Tern Lake, where the Sterling Highway junctions with the Seward Highway. By this time, what little rain that accompanied us from Homer had dried up. We’d been told to keep an eye out for tundra swans on the lake. Alas, they were nowhere to be found. Nonetheless, this was a nice spot for a quick bite before continuing our drive.

(I did see some swans later near Potter Marsh, but there was nowhere to stop, so the sight will have to be one stored in my memory rather than in a photo.)Baca lagi
