7/10/2009 Moving Day Part 2

It's time to say goodbye to the Army's Seward Resort. We've had a good time here and will return early next month. We still have lots to see in Seward as we laid pretty low this time around because we'll be coming back here with Dianne, our friend from Delaware, when she arrives.

We had an errand to run and passed this cemetery which I hadn't noticed before today. And its no wonder.

It doesn't seem to be kept up at all.

Some of these markers just have a last name and the year of death. The weeds are tall and some markers need straightening. Quite sad really that the townspeople don't put more care into it. Some of the years of death go back to the very late 1800's and the very early 1900's.

We took another shot of the bay to record how smoky and hazy it was again.

Errands done, everything put away, 5th wheel hitched up to the truck, bill settled,,,,,let's roll!

We passed lots of traffic traveling south, towards Seward. It certainly attested to the popularity of the town in the summertime.

We're heading to other side of the peninsula for the next week - week and a half.

We saw alot of people pulled over on the side of the road near a pretty large lake. We thought maybe some moose were getting a drink and that's what everyone was taking pictures of. Since there was room for us and we were ready to stretch our legs we pulled over too. I jumped out of the truck, camera in hand, ready to photograph what was holding everyone's attention. I got to the water's edge and looked....and looked....and looked. I didn't see what everyone was looking at.

Upon closer inspection I realized that while everyone had cameras and were clicking away, they weren't all pointing in the same direction. I didn't get the attraction. It was just an "ok" lake in my estimation, nothing spectacular, just a lake.

I did catch this little family of ducks.

I guess all these people saw something more here than I did.

By mid afternoon we had reached our destination for the next four nights. We're settled into the Crooked Creek RV Park. Nothing fancy, grass is in dire need of cutting and its a little pricey for what you get. Sometimes web sites can be deceiving. We're not here for the park itself anyway, we're here to fish!

The people in the office couldn't have been any nicer and were quick to answer any questions I had.

We got set up and Bob met some of our neighbors and was given some smoked salmon and something to be used as bait. He was also told the fish aren't here. They were, but they left. They'll be back,,,,after we leave. Ohhh,,,,this is gonna be a long four days.
