ALASKA; Day 10; July 24, 2013

We left the Dimond Center Hotel in Anchorage at 9:00 am and rode south on Hwy 1.  It was 66 degrees.  About the first 50 miles or so we were on the same route we rode on day 7 (July 21st) to the Portage Glacier tour and Whittier.

We stopped a couple places for a break and for pictures.  At one location there was a worn path up a small hill and along a ridge.  The ridge overlooked a steep wooded ravine with a stream or river at the bottom.

Our route took us out on the Kenai Peninsula.  We took the Hope cut-off and visited Hope, AK.  Route 9 then took us south through some pretty scenery . . . . to Seward, where we had a larrapin good lunch at Chinook’s Waterfront Restaurant.  The fresh fish was fantastic.

We checked into our rooms at the Breeze Inn and had a little break before Carl, Marge, Chris and I rode and hiked up to Exit Glacier.  We thought we’d be able to touch the glacier but we were not allowed close enough.

We rode into Seward so Marge and Chris could do a little shopping, had ice cream with Gary and Larry and then called it a night.

We rode 160 miles to Seward and another 27 miles to the glacier and downtown Seward.  The entire day was mostly sunny and the high temperature was in the 70’s.
