Cooper Landing, Alaska, USA
Mundane day. Picked up hire car. Drove an hour to Cooper Landing through magnificent Alaskan scenery. Snow capped mountains. Lakes. Pine trees.
Checked in to the Kenai Princess Wilderness Lodge (https://www.princesslodges.com/princess-alaska-lodges/kenai-lodge/). Clue is in the title. Wilderness. Middle of nowhere. Overlooks the turquoise Kenai River. Rooms are set in blocks, away from the main reception. Each with its own log burner. Very peaceful. Very wild.
No laundry service. Only a self service laundry room. Here we go again. DIY.
Walk to main building a few hundred metres from room for dinner. Notes in the room tell you what to do if you confront a bear or a moose. As the rooms are set in the forest.
Hoping to not get mauled by a bear as I wander down for my G&T.
