Eagle River Nature Center

Our first Alaskan outing was a trip to the Eagle River Nature Center.  Can I say that I quickly realized how much of a city girl I've become?!  We 'hike' on a 'trail' near our house - a nice, paved, level trail.  This trail was a little bit different.  It was a wee bit more rugged than the 'trails' I usually walk on. . .not to mention the water hazards. Oh, did I mention the water hazards?!
There were a few puddles right in the middle of our path.  Here is my foot after sinking a couple of inches into the muck.
Thankfully, I did not lose my shoe to the muddy suction!!  But, my foot was a wee bit cold for the rest of the hike.  Can we say city slicker?!
Speaking of city slickers, we like to make sure we look like totally geeky tourists wherever we go.  Here is a picture I took of John taking a picture with his phone.  Yep, we're not from around here!


But, we can appreciate the beautiful scenery.  You don't see that every day!
