Wow! Three lake front campsites, three days in a row, without reservations. We must be living right. We are getting spoiled. We are dreading going back to RV " Resorts" where we enjoy bad views, closeЧитать далее
Now this is truly a beautiful spot. I noted the distinction of Dave "enjoying" the water and Russ "swimming" in the water. Are you tiring of seafood yet? I was going to ask how many miles, but I note the "1k" in the trip notes. Quite the walkabout.

ПутешественникReally it was mortify, because we were killing ourselves, the truck, the trailer, and few dishes on this terrifying road.
Anchorage, Alaska
