Palmer area

Day 45, Saturday, August 1: Slept in this morning, had a bite of breakfast and then went on down the road. The closer you get to Wasilla the more traffic you encounter and it is Saturday so lots of people out and about. Nice drive and a warm sunny day.
Arrived in Wasilla about noon and found a Wal-Mart to do some shopping. It is a recently remodeled superstore and looks nice, not a big box like most of their stores. It was crowded though, the parking lot almost full. Bought groceries and grabbed a bit of lunch. A few miles past Wasilla is the junction with the road to Palmer which we took and a few miles ahead found a very nice RV park called Homestead. It was listed in the Milepost and is one of the best ones we have stayed in. I would describe it as quaint! Nothing fancy about it but very clean and a friendly couple that run it. We did 4 loads of laundry first thing since it had been awhile… Put our groceries away, sorted some cupboards and we are good to go. Plan to stay here two nights because we don’t want to be in Anchorage before Monday when we need to pick up the part for the jack. WiFi is great here so we can get our internet fix before going off to remote places again! Plan to grill some steaks tonight.

Our granddaughter Cassie flies home from Maui this evening, getting into Portland about 11:30. She has been gone over a month, visiting her other grandparents there. Imagine this will turn into an annual event cause I’m sure she had an awesome time! We miss her!
