Anchorage, Alaska

Headed to Anchorage today.  It was very cloudy in the morning which masked alot of the mountains.  The sun finally came out late afternoon.  Was able to get our prescriptions filled at the Anchorage Walmart, so we are good to go.  Nothing special to report.  Found Mountain View Sporting good shop - It had everything - nice store.  Also, found the Far North Yarn Company.  Had a lot of heavier yarns and some beautiful Mountain Colors yarn.  Virginia, get ready, I have an order of Mountain Color yarn for you to order.  Far North had some Quivit, but not much.  Went to the Ulu Factory to see how the Alaskan curved cutting knives were made. These knives were used to clean the inside of the fur skins.  Today they are used on a special wooden cutting board bowl to cut veggies, etc.  It was really tan interesting place.  Tomorrow we will tour Anchorage by bus ( the bus stop is right across the street from the RV park).  There are a few museums that we want to visit.  Friday, we will probably travel down to the Kenai peninsula to hopefully do some fishing.  We have heard that the salmon are slow to arrive.  Will sign in tomorrow evening.
