From Homer back to Anchorage

Before leaving Homer, we took the scenic road out toward a Russian Farming Community. Coming back was the scenic view part with beautiful views of the mountains across the Kachemac Bay.
Retracing our route down, we were not far out of Homer when a moose started to cross the road in front of us. She ran along side for a while then retreated to the woods. We had been seeing eagles. A nest in a tree right next ot the road and a line of four or five eagles on a ridge along the shoreline.
We got to Anchorage during rush hour. We were headed to Wasilla to park overnight in the WalMart parking lot only to find signs posted every where saying no overnight parking - tow zone. As we had to get some shopping done, we went in anyway. The toilet paper was $2.88(I had paid $8+ in Homer for the exact same thing; then I saw all the scrapbooking Alaska stuff that I had paid for at various stopping places along the way was way cheaper! Kinda made me sick.
