Hidden Lake Day 5

Day 51, Friday, 8/7: It’s amazing how our plans change. We have decided to scrub the side trip to Girdwood since the only reason for going there was a restaurant (bar). Instead we are planning to go to Whittier which looks much more interesting according to the Milepost. We will stay two more nights here and leave on Sunday.

Drove to Seward today as planned and it was sunny and warm. Went to the Exit Glacier National Park and took a short hike there. It is about 8 miles off the main road but well worth the drive. Beautiful view of the glacier and the Resurrection River. On to Seward and there were several large cruise ships tied up there. Managed to find a parking place downtown, had a halibut sandwich and did some shopping while Bob took a nap. Quaint little town with lots of tourist spots and it was busy!!!

Back to camp for another campfire and some relax time. The campground was full when we returned! The hosts said it would fill up on the week-end and it did. Glad we got here on a Monday….
