To Alaska Part 7: Homer and Kenai and Bears, Oh My! Day 37 During this phase of the trip we explored two more parts of the Kenai Peninsula, often called “Alaska’s Playground” because of all the outdoor activities and opportunities that exist. And we took our second flight (this time …
To Alaska Part 6: Anchorage-Chugach State Park-Seward Day 30Can you believe we’ve been on this trip (To Alaska and Back in 80 Days) for a month now? Where has the time gone? Today we arrived back in a metropolitan area, driving through the suburbs of Anchorage to Eagle River Campground …

After leaving Lone Pine, CA, we headed 150 miles north along U.S. 395, which is in the best shape of any highways we’ve traveled in a long time! On the way, we stopped in Bishop to grab lunch and bread at Erick Schatz’s Bakery (thanks, Amy, for another great recommendation!). …
