Today we packed up and made the drive from Denali to Anchorage. We continued along the Parks highway. This has been some of the most scenic driving on the trip. It wound through green valleys and lakes and marshes with moose grazing. Some of the water was so still and clear it appeared as if there was a mirror image of the mountains in the water. We got a bit of a late start and didn’t arrive in Anchorage until about 3:30. We had wanted to take Grant to the zoo. We stopped at a place called Centennial Park. It is a city park that offers campsites. It was actually very nice. We are near an Air Force base and fighter jets are buzzing overhead. We quickly set up camp and drove to the zoo. I dropped everyone off and went to try and get some errands run. I went to an RV shop and asked them to check the torque on the hitch ball. A nice technician came out and torque it and they charged me nothing. I then went to try and get the oil changed and the oil change place claimed they weren’t accepting any new customers even though it was almost an hour until closing. I had some time to burn so I went to Wal Mart for some supplies. I bought oil and I figure I will take it to a mechanic tomorrow and see if I can just get them to change it. I picked the others up from the zoo after that. They said there were lots of bears and you were able to get very close to the animals. It was a small zoo otherwise. We then went to the grocery store and stocked up on groceries and supplies for Alex’s birthday party. We went back to the trailer and Amy and Shari begun dinner while I went to Lowes to get some things to repair the broken jack. I took Grant with me and since he had been good all day, I bought him a toy monster truck which he was very pleased with. We went back and ate some delicious chicken parmesan and got to bed. I will need to get up early to try and get this oil changed.
