We headed north this time, and stopped first at the Arctic Valley Ski Resort.

At a wide spot in the road, on the way up. |

Looking 80 miles to the west toward the the snow-covered Tordrillo Mtns (10,300 ft elevation at highest point) to the left, and Mt. Susitna (the "Sleeping Lady", 4,000 ft, 40 miles west) on the right. |

A view toward the east, still heading uphill |

Later, we stopped at a favorite place: The Pizza Man in Eagle River.

When you're on the road, you must have road food. :) |
After lunch, we drove on to Palmer, up the Old Glenn Highway through the farm country, and explored some back roads. Nothing beats a drive through mountain country with my wife for conversation. It was a good day.
And now, to put my feet up and watch Doctor Who.
Come to think of it, it was a
very good day!

Mountains and pizza - can't get any better than that!
Rev. Thanks for sharing your travels. It always nice to see other parts of the US or world through the eyes of others.
Chickenmom, I have to agree!
Rob - you're welcome. Glad you liked it. :)
Outstanding! :-) And taking a 'play day' is a great idea! We ALL need to do that every once in a while!
NFO - yes, we do. Ours have been too few lately, so we finally just said, "Let's go." :)
