What do you do on a wet Anchorage weekend? Fly to Juneau for some less wet weather.Monica hosted us and accompanied us to Camp Damp for a long weekend of sightseeing, bear watching, beach combing, harbor viewing, and contra dancing. What a nice time. Thank you Monica!
Mendenhall Glacier had just calved very large berg (the very blue spot). The salmon were running in the creek and being dinner for several black bears. The ride up the gondola provided us with an easy overview of Lynn Canal and the three cruise boats in port. Try some of the local microbrews. We tried several and they were good.
The road north to camp provided great beach walking; eagle, gull, and marmot viewing. YES it is a rain forest. But this weekend the music, calling, dancing and food were very good and the main attraction. Juneauites were joined by Sitkaites, Wranglers, Anchorites, Fairbankers and even a Vancouverite and Whitehorser for great times on and off the dance floor.
