Anchorage Heritage Museum

July 22, 2014 This morning we had no firm plans. As headed back down to Wasilla we decided that we would either get to fish this week or we would have to move on to Valdez. We came up with 2 or 3 days of possible activities for Anchorage. Any fishing trip would take us down that way anyway.

We gassed up the truck at Fred Meyer then headed to the Alaska Heritage Museum. It was located downtown in the Wells Fargo bank building. This was an interesting place to spend the afternoon. (though I think I lost my new sun glasses here! darn)

Off to Walmart for the evening and supper supplies. They were in the process of putting up signs restricting overnight parking/camping. Even had 2 tow trucks in the lot! It seemed that this was not a very good quiet place anyway. So after getting each of us a small ice cream cone we decided to try the Fred Meyers. We returned to the one we had been frequenting right on Seward Highway, but that one was quite noisy so we headed to another (there are 4 in Anchorage) one, on the north east side of Anchorage. This one proved to be perfect. Very quiet and management approved! That evening Bob got a call from Bob Truedell saying fishing was on for Friday, also we might be able to join in the Thursday trip if room allowed. Everything was falling into place. We would stock up on supplies in the morning before heading down to Seward. In Seward we will camp near Captain Bob and figure out what we need.
