Another great driving day as we headed to Anchorage. Along the way were mountains and rivers - ho hum! - and a stop at the Alaska Transportation Museum. It was eight acres of old cars, fire engines, trains and planes. Kinda a guy place as everything was in disrepair like a junk yard. Some antique cars were inside a building and the rest of the "junque" was spread out on grassy lawns. We trudged through several train cars and a large display of chain saws and Jeff enjoyed seeing some old military planes and helicopters.
Next stop was the headquarters for the Iditarod Race. We were able to cuddle with some puppies and take a cart ride pulled by a sled dog team. These dogs are bred to run and they can't wait to get into action. They are fast too and I could imagine them pulling a sled through miles of snow.
Got to our campground and the group had an ice cream social. Jeff had his guitar and sang a few songs. The folks on our tour love him and one couple are Tom Lehrer fans and we go around singing those old songs that we like so much.
Brian left today for a long weekend in Vladivostock. Don/'t ask me why anyone would want to go there, but that is where he and his buddies chose for a vacation. I am anxious to hear about it and hope he gets home safely.
