Talkeetna to Anchorage (August 1)

We hated to leave Talkeetna, actually thought about spending another day/night there.  But we seen most of what the town had to offer and it was time to move on. 

Anchorage is like any other larger city, with shopping centers and residential neighborhoods, but given where we've been the last couple weeks, we seemed out of place.  I didn't much care for Anchorage, the concrete, the buildings, and the traffic. 

However, we did head straight for The House of Harley (Anchorage House of Harley), famous for hosting motorcyclists, no matter what brand you ride.  I can't say enough good things about this dealership and its employees! 

We were given access to their grassy area for camping, codes to access the exterior restroom/shower rooms, and in their parts/service dept, we had all we could eat homemade chili!  This is how dealerships should be run!

The famous 'Bear' in front of the dealership...up to this point it was the only bear we had seen!


After we set up camp, we stepped across the street, to some of the best home cooking I've had in a restaurant...and we saw another 'bear'...


Can't beat $5 for a 4 sampler setup of 7 oz Alaskan biers!  28 oz for $5!  Gotta luv it!


Then is was back to the 'campground' to settle in for the night.


Cozy and quiet.  I think there were 4 of us there that night.


Just a great setup.  Thank you Anchorage House of Harley!!!


After the dealership moved all their bikes inside, Scott and I moved ours under their service canopy.  You just can't beat this setup.  Free camping, free chili, free restrooms/shower, and free protected parking.  Thumbs up!!!
