Day Off

Today we took a day off from fishing and did some sight seeing, we headed north of Seward to Hope, AK a small village 15 miles north of the Sterling Hwy. on the west side of Cook Inlet.  Hope is at the end of the road and a nice small quaint village.  The Porcupine Campground, which is part of the Chugach National Park is at the very end of the hwy and looked very nice, but for smaller rigs, no hook-ups.  On our way back we took a couple of side roads one lead us through a private gold mining area along a flowing river with beautiful camping spots and scenery.  The other took us 7 miles up and over mountains to a gated area with camping and picnic spots and another mining operation.  The following photos don't do justice to the views, they were magnificent.  Here are the GPS coordinates where we stopped.  60.850712, -149.535202.
