Centennial Park Campground Anchorage, Alaska

Mileage:  44,611

We left Quartz Creek early and made our way up the Seward Highway to Anchorage.  The sky was blue and it was sunny and warmer.

Truck of the day!

While we are in civilization we have a long list of things to do.  We got propane and diesel on the way into the city.  Tim got set up and I left to start our errands.  I went to Walmart, got groceries, gassed up the Jeep, and washed clothes at the Laundromat.  Kyle arrives tomorrow and we want to be stocked up and ready to go.

I was going to make steaks on the grill for Tim’s birthday dinner but he had another idea when I got back.  He heard on the radio about a collegiate level baseball game.  The Alaska Baseball League has 5 teams that play in the summer (really just July and August here!) .   This league gets a lot of attention and pro scouts frequent the games and try to recruit the better players.  Apparently Roger Clements, Randy Johnson, and Mark McGuire all played in the Alaska League early in their careers.    Tim loves old trucks and he also loves baseball!

We packed some sandwiches and headed for the baseball diamond.  It was a fun way to spend the evening!

We tried to post the blog when we got back from the game…oh no…the black screen of death on my laptop!!!
