After a great time in McCarthy, it was time to head back. We left McCarthy on Saturday morning and saw a lot of cool things along the way.
We saw beautiful lily pads with yellow blossoms on the ponds along the way.
We saw several moose in Chitina this time through.
We stopped and hiked on the Matanuska glacier. It was amazing. It had ponds & rivers & hills & valleys and of course, lots of ice.
When we arrived in Palmer (this is where Cory & Crystal & their cute little family live) we stopped at the reindeer farm. There were other animals there besides the reindeer. Here's a picture of the buffalo. He was kind of mangy looking!
We got to feed the reindeer. We really wanted to take one home with us for a pet and actually they told us that is why they raise them---people buy them for pets! Do you think they could survive in Blanding?
We also got to feed the moose that lived there on the reindeer farm.
The next morning, Cory took us to Anchorage to catch our plane home. We had had a wonderful time in Alaska. Thanks to Cory and Crystal for planning an awesome week for us.
We arrived back in Salt Lake City, tired but grateful for the week we had with Mark & Tam, Jeff & Carol, Cory & Crystal and their family.
