Day 7 -- Palmer to Matanuska

The best day yet!

55 miles (not counting 5 hair-raising miles on a flatbed with Carol,
Tom, Bell, Eric and three of our bikes)
Approx 6 hours on the bike
Climbed approx 4000 feet (much of it 7-12% grade for extended climbs
with narrow shoulders and traffic)
Descended approx 2000 feet

Spectacular views all day of mountains, rivers, and the massive
Matanuska Glacier. I'm planning to take an early morning walk and will
post a photo of our view from the campsite.
