Day 53, Thu, Jul 26, 2007, Seward, AK to Anchorage, AK

This morning we checked out of the Seward Resort campground and went into town and went through the Seward Museum. From there we went to Mile 0 of the Iditarod start which used to be in Seward and then headed north back to Anchorage.

We stopped in Moose Pass for a short break at a beautiful Methodist Church and took some pictures and had a quick lunch. The rest of the trip to Anchorage was uneventful.

Upon arrival at the Black Spruce campground at Ft. Richardson, we found they were still full up and had to settle for a no hookup spot for the night with a promise that we could get an electric and water site tomorrow.

We left the campground and went to the carwash just off base and gave our really filthy RV a good cleaning. It looks and feels so much better when it’s clean.

We then went to the Iditarod Dining Hall on the base at Elmendorf and had a really nice meal. Barbara had stuffed pork chop, green beans and chocolate cake while I had stuffed pork chop, rice with gravy, corn and a coke. The total came to $7.70. What a deal!

Then we stopped by the commissary and replenished some supplies and headed back to the campsite for the night.

The lowest temp I saw was 54 and the highest I saw was 70 degrees today. We did wake up to light rain and had light rain most of the 135 mile trip back, but as we approached Anchorage we did see some sunlight peeking through at times.
