My cousins and family had come to A-town (Anchorage) for a week, and so amongst other Southcentral Alaska things such as Flat Top, Gold Chord Lake, and Crow Creek gold panning, we made arrangements to spend some time in Seward. Now; Seward is no stranger to tourism, thanks to a lovely blend of both natural beauty and the free market, however Seward is especially full of foreigners (such as myself) on 4th of July weekend. Why is 4th of July weekend in Seward such a rave, even for us Alaskans? Well, 4th of July is historically when the popular Mt. Marathon Race takes place. Fortunately (at least for this year anyways) race day was moved to Tuesday so the city wouldn’t be as overrun as it otherwise gets.
(Ok, so maybe that’s not the real reason the day changed, but that is the reason I’m happy its not held on the weekend.)
