Soldotna, AK
OK, so once again life trumps vacation. We made the easy drive from Seward to Soldotna after dumping the tanks and taking on a load of fresh water at the city facilities near where we stayed. We knew from everything we'd read that the Fred Meyer store in Soldotna allows - even encourages - overnight parking, so we headed there. Soldotna's a big town by Alaskan standards, but still a pretty compact place, so we had no problem finding our way. We saw an ad in one of the travel guides for the local laundry, so Geri (reluctantly) agreed to get a few loads in. It was very crowded, but she was able to squeeze wrestle a couple of machines loose, and even called me to make a run with the rest of the stuff in the coach. She did towels, rugs, sheets, clothes - whatever wasn't nailed down. We'll be good for a while on laundry, and we'll have a full day tomorrow to get back into the tourist mode.
