11:01 AM | Posted by Sharp's Travels

At 8am Kim & Issie, Dick & Marie picked us up to go out for breakfast.  The first restaurant we went to had a 30 minute waiting list, so we ended up at the Village Inn.  The food was great.  It was nice to be together with such great friends.

 Gay & I had lots of errands to do—plus top the truck off with gas to be ready for our departure on Sunday.

 There was an article in one of our books on Anchorage about moose sightings in Kincaid Park.  We drove over there, but didn’t spot any.  One of the side roads we took in the park was full of ruts—it was like riding on the Top Of The World Highway again!

 Back at the campground we heard one might see moose across the street in one of the city parks.  We made our way through the woods and found lots of trees down from the storm a couple of nights ago. No moose there either.  We also heard there were 400 trees down at the golf course here and many residents are still without electricity.  We were sure lucky here.

 At 4pm we all met at the pavilion here in the campground.  We met Kelly Griffin & Ed.  She is a lady Musher and has run the Iditarod and the Yukon Quest.  She also lives off the land.  It was real interesting talking to her.  Newton Marshall was also there.  He is a Jamaican dog musher.  His take on living here and running the dog races was really funny.

 We all loaded up in the vans at 5:45pm and headed for Wild Berry Park.  We had a meal of Chicken and beef brisket waiting for us.  It was all so good.  We also took in the Dusty Sourdough show and the “Alaska The Great Land” movie.  

 They kept the Chocolate Factory open for our group.  We tried lots of samples and many purchases were made.

 It was late when we got back to the campground and we were all ready to turn in.
