Road Trip

Sunday - For the first time, the whole “empty the house” seems manageable. After emptying the shed with most of the stuff headed to the transfer station, I started pulling stuff from the “garage sale pile” and putting it into the transfer station pile. Stuff that nobody would buy but it’s still usable. Such as cheap ratchets or plumbing snakes. 

Tuesday - After coffee, we drove to Anchorage. It was raining for the first couple of hours and it started to clear up south of Cantwell. The rest of the drive was pleasant enough though there were a lot of people driving significantly under the speed limit. Not sure why…

Before coffee, I dropped the Jeep off at the dealer for a recall service. At almost 50K miles, we are getting a new clutch (flywheel, pressure plate, disc, throw out bearing, etc). It was supposed to be done today but they didn’t call so maybe they aren’t done yet.

Wednesday - After spending the night at our nephew’s home, we continued south towards Kenai. This is Turnagain Arm from the Seward Hwy. the tide is out but it wasn’t low tide. The last picture is a pano of the mouth of the Kenai River. Mt. Redoubt is the most prominent peak across the inlet  I hadn’t been to Kenai since the early 80s.
