Got a case of the Monday’s?
I think I had a case of the Monday’s today. However, it was cloudy and rained off and on today in Anchorage, so maybe it was just the weather. Even though it’s light late into the night, we got to bed at a decent hour, but I just didn’t feel rested today. I must get used to the weather!!
We drove into Anchorage today and puttered around a bit. Let’s see if I can remember what we did! HA! We did purchase some train tickets for tomorrow at the base, so I’ll let you know how that turns out. Anyways, by the time we made it into town, we were quite hungry, so we headed for Glacier Brewery. And yes, they have some tasty brew as well. After lunch, we walked around downtown so the boys could run and walk off some energy. After a couple of blocks, we drove to the Ulu Factory and viewed the river in hopes of seeing some salmon. Not the case today, but the Ulu Factory was nice. Not only did they sell the handmade ulu knives, but some homemade products as well. I picked up “Denali Dreams, Cabin Fever Reliever” soap. It says on the back, “Feeling cooped up? Bored and restless” Imprisoned in your own home?” Well, considering I’ve been living in the RV since early May…of course I feel cooped up and slightly imprisoned in my own home. So the soap will be a nice relaxing way for me to de-stress when we get a house on Kodiak. I’m looking forward to it!!
So for now, we’ll chug-u-lug on a train tomorrow to see what kind of trouble we can get into and hope to see some spectacular views and wildlife.

Charley, I just wanted you to know how much I have been enjoying your trek to Kodiak. My Husband and I (retired Coastie family). Have done much traveling and camping across this great USA too. We have encountered many of the same adventures that you have described in this blog. We have not, as yet made it to Alaska, but hope to one day. Thanks again for sharing your experiences.
