Kenai Lake along the Seward Hwy

Moose Cow W/Two Calves - Sterling

Moose Cow & Calf at Real Alaskan Cabins & RV Park - Sterling

We packed up from Stoney Creek Campground at Seward this morning and drove further west onto the Kenai and are spending 4 nights at Real Alaskan Cabins & RV Park on the east side of Sterling.  It is a smaller private park that looks inviting with tree'd sites and a nice bath & laundry facility.  Just after registering a cow and calf moose passed through the park 30 yds from us.  After getting set up and eating some lunch we took a drive to Soldotna and fueled up at Fred Meyers (The pump shut off at $150 and I wasn't quite full - OUCH!)  $4.74 a gallon.  We then drove around a bit and stopped for supper at Susie's.  Then drove around a bit more looking for an exercise area for us and the dogs.  We ended up on a gravel road a ways out of town.  While driving around we saw several cow and calf moose.  We also topped off our LP cylinders @ 3.89 a gallon.  While driving to Soldotna we had great views of the volcaneos, I think the closest one is Iliama.

We hope to spend the next 3 days  checking out some of the areas around Sterling we have not scouted before, one place is Funny River Road and a campground we checked out the spring of 2007 north of Sterling.

We seem to be getting in a routine for hooking and un-hooking and then getting everything arranged in the trailer before and after set-up.  Temps today hit 60, lows have been in the 40's.
