A trip to the Big city

Today we went to the big city (Anchorage), our agenda was to stop at some quilt shops, the Ulu Factory, farmers market and Cabela's.  We had a good day shopping and seeing downtown Anchorage.  We were disappointed to see the farmers market was not open and we weren't sure if it was because of the weather or some other reason.  The new Cabela's is very impressive and worth a visit if you are ever in Anchorage and we made it out spending only $30.  We also saw they are building a new Bass Pro Shops on the north side of town along the Glenn Hwy.

On our way to and from Anchorage we found a small secluded area to run the dogs, it wasn't nearly enough exercise for them or us, but considering the weather it was better than nothing.  Here is a photo near our stop.

On our arrival at Mountain View RV Park on Thursday we met one of our neighbors, a couple of full timers from Texas, Bob & Suzie.  We saw Bob before leaving this morning and made plans to meet for supper at the Noisy Goose in Palmer http://www.noisygoosecafe.com/ .  We had a great meal and nice visit with two very nice people.  We plan to see more of them this summer during our stay in Alaska.

After getting back from supper we are getting caught up on e-mails and our blog. While working on the blog I thought taking a picture of the rig and our view would be nice, so here it is, note the fresh snow on the mountain tops.
