Time to leave the Eagle River Nature Center

The motorhome was removed from storage last week (with only a few minor problems) and is now parked beside the Nature Center. This is a sad time for us . . . . loading the motorhome to leave after sending seven months in this beautiful valley with so many great people to work with. One could not believe how this has become home over the three winters we have spent here.
We leave here early in May to volunteer with VIP program for Alaska State Parks. First we will go to Denali State Park Northview for approx. five weeks. We will spend 5 days inside the Denali National Park at the TEK campground during this time. Have done this before and really enjoy being there. We will not have our tow car but with the TEK pass we can ride the park bus as much as we want (as long as there is a seat available) getting off to walk and catching the next bus. Then about June 20 we will drive south to Bird Creek Overflow Campground for July, Aug. and early Sept. Both these campgrounds are in areas we have not spent a lot of time in, so we are really looking forward to spending time at these locations. Bird Creek is on Turnagin Arm. There are miles of paved bike paths, tidal bores and buluga whales in the Arm.
