We visited Whittier this morning, a small fishing, glacier and wildlife touring launch and a port for a cruise ship and the Alaska Marine Hwy ferry. The 2.5 mile single-lane tunnel in which to get there is interesting as it is shared by the train. Whittier was founded as a secret base for WW2 and the tunnel built to service the town has dimensions to accommodate the height and width for the train. You actually drive on the rails. Much like Seward, on a smaller scale, Whittier is surrounded by glaciers and snow-capped mountains.
From there we drove to Anchorage to clean up, visit a bookstore and meet a friend for dinner. Bruce and I met my friend Tara at the Moose’s Tooth Pizza and Bruce basically pigged out then had the nerve to complain about a belly ache all night.
As if the belly ache wasn’t enough we decided again to spend the night in the Anchorage Centennial campground, where we slept the week prior. This time we were entertained at midnight with a large and rotund lady yelling to a homeless man, “I’ll kick your ass”. Pissed, Bruce stepped out of the van to confront the woman but upon seeing her, knew she could back up her claim. Bruce woke me wanting to move to another site, but I told him unless they start shooting we’re staying put. We opted to move to another site closer to the entrance away from the bowels of this evil campground. Borden’s Corollary once again has been proven.

Great couple of posts. Love the humor on the campground confrontation. Especially good to see your photo with the Bums.
