THE DETAILS:
THE WEATHER: Rainy, cloudy, cool, high of 68
THE DISTANCE: 30 miles to Bird… had to do it!
Well, we left the Anchorage campground with the best intentions of spending the day downtown with all the Fourth of July festivities. That didn’t quite work out as we planned.
Problem #3: Gary dropped me off at the office so I could post a couple of pictures before we left and when I returned a few minutes later the RV wouldn’t start. He worked on it for 30 minutes and nothing obvious was the problem. He thought he had flooded the engine but an hour later it still wasn’t starting. A man with a southern drawl helped us tow it around to the other side of the building where Gary could work on it out of the way of traffic going in and out of the RV park. That’s where we sat for the next 3 ½ hours. Finally, after pulling the engine apart he discovered a stuck choke. When he realized that was the problem it was an easy fix and we were on our way.
We did go down town for a short time and took some pictures… one is just for you Zoe!! But they were closing up shop so we didn’t stay long. We got on our way down south and stopped at Bird on the Seward Highway. It does not have internet, it does not have water hook up, their electric is by plugging into an extension cord and it’s right on the highway…. But it’s cheap!
The Seward Highway is absolutely gorgeous. I hope the pictures can capture its beauty.
Thanks for keeping us posted. The stuck RV is a drag (and Bird doesn't sound much better!) so I am keeping my fingers crossed that some dim fireworks will cap off your fun weekend!
