We had some out of town guests - up on a cruise - to entertain for the evening. We decided on Kincaid Grill because it's near Kincaid Park, and maybe we could find them a moose. They seemed very pleased with the meal and I was too.
This was my salmon - one of the evening's specials.
But we couldn't find them a moose at Kincaid. But Glen Alps was the next destination. We walked to Powerline trail and I did find them a couple of moose grazing way, way out in the distance that you could see in the binoculars. Not great, but the view was spectacular along Powerline Pass and there were two moose.
And then on our way back to drop them off at their hotel, we passed a moose on the side of the road and they got as close to a moose as they could reasonably want to be.
Generally, I try to confirm people's beliefs that Anchorage is the frozen wasteland year round. But a great dinner followed by a walk in the mountains and a near moose is one of the reasons I still live here.
I don't usually have two "Why I Live Here" posts in a row, but sometimes I just can't help myself.
