We did a lot of preparations today getting ready to leave. We washed clothes, updated the blog, took showers, went to buy waterproof shoes (to wear on the boat this weekend), bought groceries and washed the Casita and Pathfinder. We left at 3 pm. Just after turning off of Mary and Phil's road, a cub and mother black bear went across in front of us. We went to dump and fill up with gas. We drove out of Anchorage on the Seward Highway and around Turnagain Arm. On the way we saw where houses around Portage had sunk and broken apart as a result of the 1964 earthquake. We decided to camp at Chugach National Forest Williwaw Campground on the Portage-Whittier Highway. After setting up camp Phil called and wanted to know if there was any excitement at his house before we left. The two bears had doubled back and broken into his trash storage shed, ripping out the back and strewing trash everywhere. We told him we had seen them but they were heading away from his house. The view from our site is of the Middle Glacier.
