We woke up to patchy sun!! We left camp and headed down the road to see Mantanuska Glacier. On the way we stopped off at Long Lake and had lunch. We had a beautiful site right on the lake. We thought about staying there tonight but it was too early to call it a day and camp. We stopped at a number of pullouts along the road and since we had a fair amount of sun, we decided to take a hike at mile 118.5 at a trailhead for Chickaloon-Knik-Nelchina. The Knik Glacier was where the people from Galveston were just stranded and rescued. We hiked two hours to the top of a hill and back. Along the way we picked blueberries. I put some in the freezer and tomorrow we will have some with our cereal. We saw a lot of bear scat and had to be on the lookout bears love blueberries. This trailhead has a large paved parking lot with pit toilets and picnic tables so we decided to camp here for the night. A couple of other campers also pulled in. It warmed up to 71 degrees today, the warmest we have had in a month or so.
