Day 45: Palmer, Alaska

Arabell and I woke up in Palmer, Alaska this morning to the steady downpour of rain. The weatherman said a 100% chance of rain today, but you know they lie, but it started out that way.

By the time the group arrived at the Palmer Visitor Info Center it was down to a drizzle. We learned a lot of history about Palmer and its beginning.

We next visited an original Colony House, now a museum.  This was one of the original homes of the Matatuska Colony.

Then it was off to a great lunch at The Inn Café, which is also one of the original colony buildings. We had a wonderful Tomato & Spinach Soup & Croissant Sandwich awaiting us, followed with an Icecream desert.

After lunch it was off to the Musk Ox Farm to see the descendants from the Last Ice Age.   There were over 75 Musk Ox on the Farm.
