Sitting here watching the news another first for living in Anchorage....a severe thunderstorm warning. What a surprise considering I think I have only heard thunder once since moving here. Luckily, it is for a community 45 miles northeast of here. Although it did rain at our house today...just after the windows were finished. ARG.
Squirt and I headed out today. I packed the bag with bear spray and granola bars and we were off. We went to Glen Alps for a hike and ended up going about 6 miles round trip. We saw 1 bull moose lunching just off of the path. He stayed around long enough for me to get the camera out and snap a pic. Hope it turned out.
We also saw a grouse with chicks. She was REALLY upset at us being on the path and pulled to old wounded wing act to help hide her chicks. Squirt fell for it. I couldn't get the camera out fast enough to get the babies though. They were tiny.
We also saw a vole running around...and one dead one. No pics.
After walking, we drove to Girdwood looking for Belugas. None to be seen. Squirt wasn't a lot of help en route looking for them. He slept the entire way down and back.
Then it was back to Anchorage for lunch/dinner - Moose's Tooth Pizza. Now that we are moving - I can't get enough of it!
