In Wasilla, we stayed on the circle in Big Bear RV Park and Campground. The inside of the circle was a common area with a large pavillion and three propane grills for the use of all patrons.
There was also a large grass area behind us where Bill and Barkley played and played. Because his back legs still aren't quite right, Barkley's body is at an angle to his goal when he runs.
Since it was the 4th of July weekend, we heard lots of fireworks, and a family in the RV park was also setting off fireworks. Broad daylight is not the ideal backdrop for fireworks, but we did see a faint color splash here and there.
July 6th, and we're back on the road to Seward. Sights at a stop along the Seward Highway on Turnagain Arm (a long inlet):
Harebells and clover:
A marsh along the way:
Of course, it was overcast and raining most of the day.

We stayed in Bear Creek RV Park outside of Seward and were once again blessed to be in the same park as Colin and Betty Linton. It was bittersweet, because they would be staying in Seward until the end of July, so we knew we wouldn't meet on the road again. We hope to see them again, and so does Barkley.

At the Kenai Peninsula Wildlife Viewing Trail, we picked up miniature booklets with color pictures of the invasive plants in the Seward area. The advice is to pull invasive weeds wherever they are found, pack them in plastic, and pack them out to proper trash receptacles.
