Arts & Crafts Market Anchorage :
Once it is actually spring there will be a farmers market.
Today is the first market of the year, so only t-shirts, crafts, and food with an Alaska twist.

Lunch at F Street station: Hank had to go back for the fried halibut.

In the afternoon we hiked part of a bicycle trail in Anchorage .
It is along the Cook Inlet by the airport and Earthquake Park.
This is 2 or 3 miles southwest of the trail location where the previous shots of earthquake terrain were taken.
This is the swampland upon which Anchorage International Airport was built.


Still only hints of green and some equisetum (horsetail) sprouts.


We drove out for one last look at Turnagain Arm and the incoming tide. But again, no bore tide today. McHugh Creek has a great parking spot and overlook with the ubiquitous bear message.

Moose just off the long runway at Anchorage International. Gives you a nice feeling about taking off from there.

Daily moose count: 2
