SEWARD, ALASKA

Linda talking with her Mom from our MH site on Resurrection Bay in Seward

We arrived in Seward, Ak. five days ago and plan on being here for 14 days before driving back to Cooper Landing.  The city recreation department manages hundreds of sites on Resurrection Bay but only a few of them have electricity and water, none have sewage at the site.  The location on the water is beautiful, the water is crystal blue with the snowcapped mountains in the background..  We were very fortunate to obtain a site up front facing the water.  The first night we got to Seward, we stayed 6 miles from town at Stoney Creek campground that had full service (50 amp) and drove into Seward the next morning at 7:30 am in our jeep waiting for someone to pull out.  Fortunately, Linda walked down the sidewalk on the waterfront and ran into Donna, whom we had met in Palmer.  Donna and her friend are from Florida and she asked Linda if we were looking for a spot and that they were leaving that day.  We went to the check-in and paid for the site nd put it on the post of their site.  Mission accomplished and we moved the Motorcoach in about 11 am.  This place is extremely crowded and will be more so on the July 4th weekend due to a big festival and an International Race up a mountain that is in clear view behind our Motorcoach.

There is lots to do and see in Seward but this is the most expensive place we have been in Alaska.  Restaurants are primarily sandwiches with a grilled cheese costing $9 and a peanut butter and Jam at $6.A dinner consist of steak, or Salmon or Halibut.  Expect to spend over $40 per person with a drink.  Fuel prices are over $3.00 here where other places are between 2.36 & 2.81 per gallon.  Fishing boats are going out every morning and coming in with very large catches of Halibut and Rockfish.


  Men are fishing for Reds along the shore across from us on Resurrection Bay.  Every day there are sea otters that play in front of our coach.  Most days that we have been here we have spotted Humpback Whales feeding into the Bay and then moving back out into the ocean. The Bay is 18 miles before you reach the ocean.  Our first day here we went to Exit Glacier in the Kenai National Forest.  We attended services on Sunday at Resurrection Bay Baptist Church.  The second person to greet us was from Evergreen, Al.
