We visited Earthquake Park--memorializing the 8.5 earthquake in 1964.
We hiked Blueberry Loop Trail. It was a bit more strenuous than we expected--the wind was gusting to 40+ mph, and it was cold and rainy. The view, however, was still gorgeous. Bonus--a moose on the side of the road!
Today, we visited the Alaskan Wildlife Conservation Center. One of the black bears was hysterical! If I can add a video, I will. I swear the bear had a tic; when it changed direction, it would WHIP its head around--
Nope, sorry, again, I am technically challenged; I cannot attach the bear video. If you would like to see it, email, and I will try to send it through gmail.
After the AWCC, we went to Gridwood Forest Fair (the resurrected old hippie festival--it was suspended for a few years...too many illegal activities. SMILES!) The fair was similar to a Ren Fest, but with hippies instead of members of the Society of Creative Anachronisms. People were dancing with hoola hoops (some to the music...others, not so much); munching on granola and honey; and wandering through the booth area in tie-dyed and creatively colored outfits. The setting for the fair was, yes, you guessed it, a beautiful old forest!
Tomorrow, Matt and I hope to sleep in!
Hope this finds you all well and happy!
