Leslie Saturday July 5 and Sunday July 6, 2008
We got to the big city– Anchorage. Really, it is so much larger than anyplace we’ve been since early May. Anchorage even has a Nordstroms! (I had one small errand there.) It’s nice to visit a city w e’ve been to twice previously so that we know our way around a bit. We looked for and found a favorite bar/restaurant, Humpy’s Old Saloon. We first visited Humpy’s two years ago when we were in Anchorage. On that trip we ate at Humpy’s three times because the fish is good and the prices reasonable. We were glad to find that they are still in business. There has been a lot of commercial development in Anchorage in the past two years.
We got Molly & Cody pre-registered for their visit to a vet boarding facility. They’ll stay in a large, two story, cat condo while we travel to see the bears in Katmai. I’m sure they won’t be pleased with their stay at summer camp, but we did buy them a new bed for the trip.
Sunday was spent doing all the last minute activities necessary before leaving home (groceries, laundry, etc.) We’re ready for our early morning departure to camp in a tent with the grizzly bears. We’ll return late Thursday so don’t expect any postings until Friday.

Getting Ready for Brooks Camp
Robert, Sunday, July 6
Today we got all of the camping gear out and decided what we were taking to Brooks Camp. Our flight is tomorrow morning at 9:20 a.m. and we don’t get back to Anchorage until 6:00 p.m. on Thursday. That means we will not be able to post to the blog until Friday. We moved the trailer from a full hookup site to an electric only site. That way the stiff in the refrigerator and freezer will be OK. We made a last minute run to the grocery store to get a few things that we need and then we ate dinner in the hotel coffee shop. Not great but we don’t have a water hookup and with the water pump not working, we don’t have water to wash dishes. We probably won’t post Thursday night when we get back because after we pick up Cody and Molly and get back to the trailer, I’m guessing we will be too tired. Friday morning we have to have the trailer in Anchorage to get the water pump fixed. Anyway when we post next we hope to have some bear pictures.
