On a whim, after visiting Thunderbird falls, we decided to check out Eklutna Lake. It is located on the other side of TwinPeaks from our house. This lake is absolutely stunning and surrounded by nice trails that are used for everything from biking to four wheeling. I believe that it is at the foot of the Knik Glacier, if you follow it in about ten miles. The lake is bordered by grasses and more rocks. Once again, the boys had a blast throwing more stones...at least until they were told to stop. Layne declared several times that it was perfect bear habitat...and wouldn't you know it as we headed back to the car a little black bear crossed the road. It took a couple of seconds for it to register that a bear just stepped in front of our path. She was in a hurry to get away from everyone. After the lake adventure we stopped at Rochelle's Ice Cream. Layne decided that he would be content to eat whatever ice cream the boys had left over. After fighting over some fries the boys did not leave a drop of ice cream for Daddy! If anyone is independently wealth and looking for the investment the ice cream store and surrounding 95 acres are for sale. It would make an incredible hunting grounds and nice summer home/resort. I don't think I would want to try to drive in during the winter though!
