2009 - Tuesday, July 21 (Alaska)

MEM-FAI
Alaska
July 17 - July 25
  • We left Skilak Lake around 10 AM via Seward Highway and grabbed breakfast at Sunrise Cafe in Cooper Landing.
  • Drove Highway 1 along Turnagain Arm to Anchorage. We got to Anchorage around 2:30 and checked into the Hilton downtown.
  • Walked around downtown to check out the sights. We decided to rent a couple bikes from Downtown Bicycle Rental and go for a ride. We chose the Tony Knowles Coastal Trail, which goes from downtown, through a park, and around the airport and then back. We rode about 10 miles, during which a rogue biker stopped along the trail and Nick crashed into him, resulting in a banged up knee and leg. Everyone survived though, and we made it back downtown where we stopped at a gift shop to buy some stuff for Amanda, who was watching the doggies back in Memphis.
  • Had dinner at Orso then headed back to the hotel and watched a movie (Adventureland).
  • Mileage: 940
