We got up at our usual 8:00 this morning and the skies were clear and sunny. After breakfast we got ready to leave Seward Resort. Mike filled our fresh water tank before we left our campsite. While he was dumping the tanks at the dump station, I went to the Resort office to check out, get our receipt and turn in the bathroom & laundry keys. We left the Resort at 11:20.

We didn't hitch up the car because we only have a few miles to drive - a total of 3 miles. I led with the Vue while Mike followed in the RV. We headed north on the Seward Highway to the Exit Glacier Road and then headed west to a pull-off on Resurrection River that we had seen when we had visited Exit Glacier a couple of days ago. We had decided then to come back here and dry camp for a night.
We arrived at the pull-off at 11:30. There were a few RV already staying there and we found a place to park with a great view of the river and the mountains. We met a French couple, Arno & Caroline, who had bought a class B motorhome in California and were spending a couple of years traveling around the U.S. and Canada with their young daughter, Rose. After talking with them for a little while, they left to go up to Exit Glacier.
We leveled the RV and put our out slides and then had lunch. There were a lot of flies when we got here and I got to practice my skill with a flyswatter because several got in the RV.

After lunch we got out our chairs and set them out near the river. We spent most of the afternoon just enjoying the scenery. There was a really good wind coming up the river from the east and it kept the flies away from us.

One of our neighbors came over to tell us that there were some mountain goats up on one of the mountains. We got out our binoculars and could see them, but they were too far away to get a good photo.
I did see this bald eagle fly over the motohome and we managed to get a few photos of him sitting in a tree near us.

While we were eating dinner a man knocked on our door and wanted to know if we wanted some salmon he had caught and cooked. He and his wife had just parked behind us in their class C motorhome about an hour before. He said they had caught it yesterday and that they had a couple of pieces left over. So much for the turkey sandwich I was eating! The salmon was delicious. Tinker really liked the smell of the salmon and I gave him a small bite. I don't see how he could have tasted it, he just gulped it down!
We're spending just tonight here before we head on over to Homer. We've already hitched the car up and it won't take long to get ready to leave in the morning after we put the slides in and stow the jacks.
One thing I forgot to mention in my previous posts about Seward Resort. The laundry and bathrooms/showers looked fairly new, but we were surprised at the layout of the showers. There was no dressing area in each of the showers. There was a long bench between the showers like the ones we used to have in high school in the gym showers. We were surprised that a resort would have that kind of layout for showers - I think most people would prefer a little privacy.
