Anchorage to Hope

      We left Denali and headed to Anchorage. It was a good chance to resupply at Fred Myers and to get the oil changed in the truck. We then went to the Alaska Aviation Heritage Museum over on Lake Hood. Lake Hood is the home to Alaska's largest seaplane base. They are busy enough to require air traffic control service. The museum was nicely done and I enjoyed my time there.

 I liked the name on the tail of this plane "Skeeter Air"

     We headed south out of Anchorage on the Seward Hwy. Along the way we saw a nice bull moose. We found a nice campsite on a lake. We decided to drive over to the town of Hope, which is on the opposite side of the Turnagin Arm. Not much town but it had a rustic quaintness to it. There was a nice campground just beyond the town. We had hoped to come back and stay there but never made it. It was a nice drive though with good views of the Arm at times.

A nice view across the Arm at low tide
