Scenic
Train Ride
Sunday, September

You
have a special opportunity to take a scenic trip on the Alaska Railway. The
railway is closed at this time of year to the general public and only open for
private charters. Our group was too small to make a private charter cost
effective, but our friends for the United Church of God have booked a charter
and invited us to join them. This scenic trip on the
AKRR will go from Anchorage, through the beautiful Turnagain Arm, to the
glacial mountains area near Portage Glacier and then on to Spencer Glacier for
viewing and pictures. An excellent box lunch meal will be included as
well. A cash bar is also available on the train. The trip will be about 5½
hours long—from 1 to 6:30 p.m. The cost for the trip/meal is $66 per
adult. Those ages 4 to 12 are $60 a person. Children 3 and under are free.
Single’s
ATV Ride and Hike
Monday, September 27th,
from 1:00 p.m. - 6:00 p.m.
Singles
will need to go change clothes right after services and meet down in the lobby
by 1:15p.m. You will be given sandwiches and drinks to have while you drive
about 45 minutes down the scenic Seward Highway to the Bird Creek area of the
Chugach National Forest. You will then divide into two groups. While one group
rides 4-wheel ATV’s, the other group will take a guided hike along Penguin
Creek where there may still be salmon running. After about two hours, the
groups will meet back at the starting point and, after a light snack, switch and
do the opposite activity. This beautiful area has abundant wildlife including
moose, elk, bears, and eagles. You may want to stop and have dinner at one of
the restaurants overlooking the Turnagain Arm on your way back to the hotel.
This activity does not include transportation, so you will have to get together
and work out rides with those that have automobiles. The cost for the lunch,
snacks, ATV ride and hike is $110.00 per person.
Wildlife/Glacier
Cruise
Tuesday, September 28th,
from 6:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m.
You’re
going to have to get up early to do this trip! Participants will need to leave
the hotel no later than 6:00 a.m. in order to make the approximate two hour
drive to Seward, and be on board our private charter boat at the Seward marina
for an 8:30 a.m. departure. This cruise will go all around scenic Resurrection
Bay. During the cruise you will see a variety of wildlife that may include
whales, dolphins, sea lions, sea otters, bald eagles, puffins and other birds.
A delicious all-you-can-eat buffet lunch featuring prime rib and Alaskan salmon
will be served on the boat. The boat will return to the marina around 1:00 p.m.
This should give everyone ample time to drive back to Anchorage, clean up and
be at services by 5:00 p.m. at the Millennium Hotel. The cost for this cruise, not including
transportation, is $67.00 per adult and $33.50 per child 2-12 years old.
For
those who need transportation, or just don’t want to drive, there will be transportation
to Seward in a chartered motor coach or bus. The bus will leave the Millennium
Hotel at 5:45 a.m., so be prompt. The cost for the bus will be $40.00 per
person round trip.
Family
Day
Wednesday, September 29th,
from 1:00p.m. - 5:00 p.m.
***NEW***DOG SLED RIDES***
Family
Day will be held at beautiful Kincaid Park. The park
sits up on a hill overlooking
Anchorage and the
Cook Inlet, with a view of
Mt.
McKinley if the weather
is clear. There will be a sumptuous barbecue lunch featuring wild Alaskan Salmon
caught by one of our members. A variety of outdoor sporting activities will be
available, children’s crafts and games, as well as beautiful walking trails. Also, one of our Alaskan members has arranged for Mr. Joe Redington Jr. the son
of The Father of the Iditarod (Joe Redington Sr.- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe_Redington) to bring his dog sled
team to Kincaid Park to give free rides. If the weather is a
little brisk for you, there is plenty of indoor seating where you can
fellowship and play games. Hopefully everyone will come to this activity on the
last day of the Feast. The cost for this afternoon of food, fun and fellowship
is $15.00 per adult and $10.00 for children 4-12. Children 3 and under are
free.
