The Oysters last night were great, just needed a lot more of them. Halibut was even better, it ended up a really nice dinner. After dinner we went to the hot tub, had it to ourselves, a long with some rain showers. Hot tub water was hot, rain was cold, so it was a nice combo. After the hot tub we went to the Princess Lodge bar for a drink. 3 bar employee’s said “Hi” when we walk in then they turned their backs to us, weird. We sat there saying “what the hell” when a 4th employee walked in and asked if he could get us a drink. We said “yes” and what is up with the other 3? He said he was sorry and would say something to them. Other then that it ended up being a nice stay there. Too bad we couldn’t stay another day but they are all booked up.
We didn’t get on the road until around noon, that is what check out time was. We only had to drive to Seward, 46 miles away I think. Once we got to Seward we parked on the water front, water in front mountains all around. Then we went to the Elks Lodge, no parking there, so we checked out the military parking, Dave can get in since he is retired DOD. We made reservations for Sunday night. 2 nights dry camping then a hook up night for just a little bit more money. When we went to the military camp and made reservations Dave then saw that we had left his drivers license at Coopers Landing Princess Lodges. We had to give them something we wanted back to have the hot tub key. Needless to say we drove the jeep back to Coopers Landing to get his drivers license back and turn the key back in.
On the way back I said lets do some Geo Caching on the way back, which we did. One was at a small rest stop outside of the Princess RV Park, which I found. Another one was on the road outside of there. It was on a off roading stretch, which I started to drive but when it comes to 4 wheeling that isn’t my cup of tea. I stopped the jeep and let Dave take over. We drove to the top of a hill but didn’t find the cache but want a view we saw, amazing. You would never think of going on these roads if it wasn’t for these geo caches.
Once we got back to the RV we decided to walk to the Elks Lodge, about 2 blocks from where we are. On the way we saw this sea gull attacking a Bald Eagle on the telephone pole. Everytime the sea gull dived at the eagle the eagle would try and bit the gull, stupid gull. We had to walk by the “American Legion” and they had quite a few people there and it looked like the Elks had no one. As we were walking up to the Elk’s some guy from the American Legions was yelling at us telling us the Elks Lodge wasn’t open tonight. We told him the website said they were but he said they had changed it. He belonged to the Elks and said it was only open on Saturday nights, an Elk’s Lodge open 1 day a week, what is up with that? Anyway the guys nick name was “Buck” and he was also a member of the American Legion so he invited us in, with him, as his guest. Very nice guy and very friendly. They were serving steak dinner tonight and he said we were more then welcome to eat but we had taken out steak and shrimp for dinner already. We sat and visited with Buck for about an hour and then it was back to the RV. We told Buck we would meet him tomorrow at the Elks and buy him a drink, he said he might show up, will see.
We came back to the RV and cooked the steak and shrimp with baked potato and salad. After cleaning up the dinner dishes we went for a long walk. On the way back to the RV we stopped for ice cream, Alaska is the #1 state of consuming ice cream and we thought we would help them out. FYI they are the number 2 state in eating Spam. Got back to the RV at 10pm and it was kick back and relax time.
Almost forgot to mention, saw a new animal today, Dolphins swimming in the waters right in front of us.
