The weekend after our camping trip in Willow and Talkeetna in August we went camping in Seward. On the way down we stopped at the Wildlife Conservation Center in Portage. There they have all of the typical Alaskan wildlife: moose, elk, reindeer, muskoxen, wood bison, etc. This time, though, we spent most of our time watching the bears. In the past we've mostly only been in the winter when the bears are hibernating, so this time it was fun to see the bears putting on a show.
Then we continued on to Seward. We stayed at a little cabin at Miller's Landing, on the shore of Resurrection Bay.
We stayed on a Saturday night, and on Sunday morning we went to church at the Seward branch. The church building there is small but unique. It's not like any of the patterns followed by most church buildings around the country. We especially liked the wood paneling inside.
We then took the short hike up to Exit Glacier, which is the only part of Kenai Fjords National Park that is accessible by car.
On the way out of town we stopped for lunch/dinner/dessert at our favorite place: Le Barn Appetit. Here they make giant crepes from an old family recipe brought over from Belgium, and the friendly proprietors always treat us like family. We shared a couple dinner crepes before moving on the real deal for dessert. A good meal was had by all.
This concludes our summer catch-up series. Stay tuned for coverage of our next trip...
