August 24: This morning we has a tour of the gold mine and learned about placer mining. The mine is basically an historical tour. Lots of old buildings and beautiful flowers There are signs that mining is going on, however we think a lot of their income comes from weddings. Out camping was on a gravel lot in the middle of nowhere! The drive alone was worth the trip.
Headed for Seward, our desintation for a few days. In Seward we stopped at the Kenai Fjords National Park Headquarters. The ranger was very helpful. The National Park Service partners with several tour companies. We selected Major Marine Tours and chose the longest tour on a slower boat with a park ranger on board. We then walked the tourist street and headed for Sea Life Center. This lived up to our expectations. Spent hours there and only left because we wanted to find a place to park for the night.

Seward has a municipal park that runs from the boat harbor to the sea life center. It has RV spaces with and without hookups. We will stay here for 2 days. We walked the bike path which goes into town. It is still light about 10 PM. However , we did watch the moon come up over the mountains reflect in the harbor.
