DAY 39: TURNAGAIN ARM

ALONG THE TURNAGAIN ARM

MOOSE AND CALF ALONG THE ROAD TO EAGLE RIVER

Today was another beautiful day and we drove the Jeep south on the Seward Highway along the Turnagain Arm.  The highway follows the coastline south of Anchorage and the views of the ocean and mountains are spectacular.  We were looking for beluga whales, however our timing was bad as the tide was out; we're going to try again when the tide is in.  We did see lots of waterfowl and later when we drove to Eagle River we saw a moose and her calf.

NOTE THE MUD FLATS WHEN THE TIDE IS OUT - THESE ARE VERY DANGEROUS & SOME
AREAS ARE LIKE QUICKSAND AND YOU MIGHT NOT BE RESCUED BEFORE HIGH TIDE
