Sterling Highway, July 4th, 2010

As the city street gives way to the highway, we were right down at the water's edge of Cook Inlet, an arm of the Pacific Ocean. Going west along this body of water, it narrows and is called Turnagain Arm. Our side, headed to the Kenai Peninsula was busy in its two lanes but the returning side was jammed with speeding cars, cars with trailers, motorcycles and RV coaches. All coming back to Anchorage after the holiday in the Kenai. Well, Ernie wanted to get fuel and dump his wastewater tanks before stopping today. The only place on the stretch was a multi lane gas station/convienence store which was the place for everyone coming and going. Busy, busy. Donna and I just sat and watched all the commotion while Ernie and Kay finished.
