Bear Bonanza in Alaska - September 1 2008

It turned out to be an event filled last day. We returned our RV, rented a car and drove to Talkeetna to be on a Denali glaciers flightseeing trip. It was a beautiful day and we could observe the Denali north and south peak, gawk at glaciers and the alaskan grasslands. It was unique and other-worldly. We then headed to the Alaska State Fair to marvel at the gigantic vegetables, pet the livestock and piglets and savor the art, crafts, and carnival food. We ended the day with a sushi dinenr at Dami's.

Bear Bonanza in Alaska - August 31 2008

The day was spent on Seward Highway getting back to Anchorage with gusts of wind and rain in some parts of the trip especially at Portage glacier. We also stopped at the crowded Girdwood for lunch and also timed our travel to catch some boreal tide action in one of the viewpoints. It was unique but not spectacular. We camped at the Centennial campground for the night.
