  • New Location

    I got up and prayed morning prayers and had breakfast.  Then I started getting ready to move to a location closer to Seward.  My first guests arrive on Sunday, and I want to be ready for them.  On the way down to Seward, I passed the large parking area with the grassy field where I…

  • A Day Off

    I decided to stay at the pullout for another day and just take a day off.  I had cell service so if one of the companies returned my call I would get it.  I was closer to Anchorage so I could turn around and go back to the city if someone could work on the…

  • Back to Anchorage for the Refrigerator

    I got up and after morning prayers and breakfast, I started calling companies in Seward and Anchorage to find someone to work on the fridge.  No one in Seward worked on them.  I made several calls to Anchorage and left voicemails with several of the companies.  Finally, I headed into Anchorage to see if I…

  • Leaving Bird Creek Campground

    After morning prayers and breakfast, I hooked StarLink up to upload several posts to the blog.  I kept hearing a noise by the door, so I checked, and a squirrel was trying to get into the fifth wheel.  I spent over $2500 repairing wiring in the truck after we moved into the house in PA…

  • Bird Creek Day 4 Seward Highway South

    I left heading south looking for some places to camp.  As I traveled south, the road followed Turnagain Arm for a way and then changed to mountains on both sides of the road.  The mountains were beautiful with the sun shining on them.  Some had a fair amount of snow at the top.  I passed…

  • Bird Creek Campground Day 3 Seward Highway North

    I headed north towards Anchorage today.  I stopped at the Bird Creek Trail parking lot and walked up the path to a lookout area overlooking Turnagain Arm area.  It was a beautiful day and I enjoyed the sunshine.  When I came down from the lookout, I continued down to the Bird River.  It was cooler…

  • Bird Creek Campground Day 2 Bore Tide

    Beautiful day.  Sun is out and it’s warm out.  After breakfast, morning prayers and a rosary, I was ready to go.  Today I want to go south a way and explore the area along Turnagain Arm.  I stopped at the first parking area and met a couple who were waiting for the Bore Tide.  They…

  • Bird Creek Campground Day 1 Errands

    Today was “Errand” day.  After breakfast and morning prayers, I spent some time just taking it easy.  Mid-afternoon, I headed into Anchorage, about 20 miles north of here, to get some items.  It rained a little but hardly enough to say it rained.  It was a beautiful day; the sun was out and the drive…

  • Anchorage and Seward Highway

    I left the Walmart parking lot and headed north to a Starbucks for coffee.  They didn’t have a dark roast but offered to do a pour over.  That works so I waited for the pour over.  I was amazed at how fast the barista’s work.  It is constant and they don’t stop moving.  Then I…
