7/17 Palmer, AK bound

Leaving Seward this a.m. and heading to Palmer for a night. Need to pick up our mail and see friends before we start heading out again.

The drive was uneventful, no animals but caged ones, that I saw. We stopped in Anchorage to do a little shopping at Costco. Need a few supplies not many since the freezer is still pretty much full. After Anchorage we drove to the Palmer Elk’s Lodge to spend the night. I was pretty tired, had a restless night last night. After setting up we headed for the Post Office, yea, our package was there. Stopped at Safeway, and did a little shopping there too. Got back to the coach and Dave started making special topping for garlic bread which were taking over to Linda’s for dinner.

Linda and Vaughn had, a few days ago, invited us over for dinner while we were in Palmer. Then come to find out she planned the dinner, for us, so we could get together with their friends, our new friends that we had met through them. How nice is that! We had great appetizers before dinner and lasagna and the works for dinner. It was a very good. Jim, Lorraine, Mike, Linda, Vaughn, Linda, and a new couple we just met Gene and Sherry, who were visiting with Mike and Linda. Gene and Sherry are from Arizona and left the same time we did, 5/17 but they don’t plan on getting back until December, we will be home by October. Will probably run into them as we are travelling. They are headed to Valdez now just as we are.

After dinner Jim had built a nice big fire by the lake so we all sat down there and talked till almost 9:30pm. Then it was back to the RV time. It was a great evening, Thank you so much Linda and Vaughn, enjoyed very much.

Tomorrow we are headed to Valdez, it’s about a 6 hour drive and it will take us 2 days, doing some site seeing along the way. Having a wonderful trip so far and hope it keeps up.
