Day 109 – June 27 (Alaska Day 18) – Moose

We had to get the dogs to Soldotna between 9 and 10 for grooming today, so at 8:30 we headed north on the Sterling Highway for the hour drive to Soldotna.  We were driving along and there he was – a bull moose!

Not too long after that we came to what may have been part of his family on the side of the road. 

We dropped the dogs off and did a little shopping at Fred Meyers before heading to Kenai for more shopping at Wal-Mart.  Since we had time to kill. We drove around old town Kenai and saw a Russian orthodox church.

We found a local restaurant and had lunch.  I thought it was good, everyone else was not real happy with their food.  We had stopped at a couple of garage sales because Mary, “Wanted to see what things they sell in Alaska”.  Here is a clue; they are people trying to get rid of their junk, just like people in Missouri.

We picked up the dogs and returned home.  The campground had a population explosion.  There are 7 or 8, maybe more additional campers.  That is good news for the owner (Chuck).  He promised a big celebration for July 4^th.
