Anchorage Alaska!

The Chugach Wonder

We spent our Thanksgiving day driving around in a thankful thoughtfulness as we took in the sites between Anchorage and Portage Valley and out to the Begich Boggs Visitor Center. The day was blustery, the boys slept most of the way and Brian and I were amazed at the Fjord-like mountains jutting up out of the Turnagain Arm. The wind was gusting to gales and blasting water spray with such might that a few times the pressure changed so drastically in our car that our ears popped!

We've also tooled around town in and out of tourist stops. We've been down to the Alaska Railroad Depot a few times...no trains. However, we have taken some pictures with some "noble" retired engines in the area. One great stop was at the Potter Section House Railroad Museum, which is also the main office for the Chugach State Park
