Adieu to Anchorage

Today we bid farewell to Jenny and Travis and made our way around Turnaround Arm and over towards Hope. The Seward Highway is extremely beautiful, winding its way around Turnaround Arm and snaking its way through the Chugach mountains in the Kenai Peninsula.

En Route, we stopped at the Alaska Widerness Conservation Centre, where they provide home for orphaned or injured wildlife. One never likes to see animals behind bars, much less finance it, but this seemed like a worthwhile cause. If the sight of two adolescent grizzlies wrestling in the water three feet from you doesn't make your heart melt, you are truly jaded.

From there, we continued on to Hope.... however, the campground there was full, as it's the weekend. So we decided to continue on to Seward, arriving quite late, setting up camp and going to bed.
