Anchorage, Alaska

Disembarking the ship in Seward

 

Visit to the Portage Glacier near the tunnel going into Whittier, Alaska

   

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Anchorage Visitor's Center

   

 

 

While searching for the elusive Northwest Passage on May 30, 1778, Capt. James Cook explored the waterway that downtown Anchorage now borders, Cook Inlet.  We went to the statue erected in his honor.

   

 

The Anchorage Museum

  This museum was very worth while.  The exhibits were arranged chronic logically which made it very easy to follow which events came first in Alaskan History.  Our guide was very knowledgeable due to her close relationship with three native regional cultures in Alaska. 

             

 

 

   

 

   

 

 

 

Prior to June 27, 1940, Anchorage is still a small, sleepy town but its strategic position attracts military interest. The first soldiers arrive to build an army base and air field, which become Fort Richardson and Elmendorf Air Force Base, bringing rapid growth to Anchorage.

 

 

 

 

 

Cross-section of the Alaskan Pipeline

 

 

 

One out of four people in Alaska fly a "bush plane" for transportation.

 

The Weekend Market in Anchorage is located near 4th and C Streets across the street from the Holiday Inn.  It is open during the Summer months.  Get a load of the size of the cabbage.  Guess what!  $1.50 per pound. 

 

 

 

                                   

 

 

 

 

 

 

On March 3, 1973, the first Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race starts from downtown Anchorage with 34 mushers; 22 mushers finish the race with the last one arriving in Nome one month after he left the starting line.  The starting location is near the oldest building in Anchorage.  It now houses a premier art gallery with art from the masters from Alaska. 

 

  

   

The Wendler Building was built in 1915. This is the first permanent building constructed in Anchorage and is now the oldest building still standing here. It was erected to house the Larson-Wendler Company. The city's first general merchandising store.

 

 

On our way to Denali

   

 

   

 

 

Boy those dogs love to pull, so hang on!

09/04/2010 Tidal flats @ Turnagain Arm

*trevj posted a photo:

Tidal flats @ Turnagain Arm

A late afternoon sun glistens on the tidal mud flats of Alaska's Turnagain Arm, south of Anchorage.

The Arm, at the northern end of Cook Inlet experiences the second highest tides in the world (behind Canada's Bay of Fundy). Though beautiful even at low tide, the mud flats can be like quicksand, quickly trapping adventurous, but stupid tourists. :-)

Have a great weekend everyone!! See you Monday.
