On to Anchorage!

We have now been in Anchorage for two days, and it has rained most of the time. When we arrived in town yesterday, we headed to Kincaid Park, in South Anchorage. This park boasts 43 miles of trails which wind through 1,400 acres of mixed spruce and birch forest. It is also home to a sizable moose population, and we did encounter one on the side of the road as we were exiting the park. We stopped the car and I jumped out, camera in hand, as he nonchalantly munched on grass. As I crept closer for the perfect shot, also prepared to turn and run if he decided that he'd had enough of this human encroaching on his space, he finished up his meal and sauntered away.
