When we were traveling north we had to stop several times to wait for roads to be cleared. At Toad River we met Cassie and Jack and stayed in touch as we both traveled to Alaska. On Monday we drove to Palmer to meet them for lunch. This area had received more snow also. Pioneer Peak was beautiful. . .
As were the mountains across the Hay Flats.
The next morning about 6:15 AM I saw my first moose in the park. Had been seeing scat so knew we had both bear and moose in the area. Still have not seen a bear.
The state park had a volunteer training session on May 23. This gave us an opportunity to meet some of the other host as well as other rangers. We were told that in Alaska there are 7 volunteers for every paid employee. Once again we were reminded that the parks run smoother because of the number of hours spent by volunteers. Matt took pictures of each couple (or single) to post at Potters Section House (now park headquarters).
During the afternoon session after getting some information on wildlife behavior, we were each given the opportunity to fire bear spray at the “wooden bear”.
