Beluga Point Alaska
We went to Beluga Point south of Anchorage for part of the day and had a picnic on the rocks. We saw a lot of Dall sheep up on the mountains. When the whales come in this is a good place to go to see them. I've even seen folks swimming there, but I think they are a bit crazy. All in all, not a bad way to spend some time. I like to bury loose change and let the kids look for pirate treasure!

Laurel Bill on Alaska Story time with Aunt Phil, Alaska Seward Highway opens 1951
On Oct, 19, 1951 the 125-mile long Seward Highway was completed and ready for traffic. It connected to the Sterling Highway, which had opened to Homer the previous year.
The route from Resurrection Bay to Alaska’s interior has been in existence for thousands of years, of course. Alaska author/historian Laurel Downing Bill shares how Russian explorers searched the area for furs and minerals as early as the 1700s. And Natives used the region for thousands of years.
Russian explorers searched the area for furs and minerals as early as the 1700s. And Natives have used the region for thousands of years. In fact, Dena’ina Indians found abundant game around what we now call Beluga Point.
A rush of hopeful gold-seekers flooded into the Kenai Peninsula after prospectors discovered gold in Hope in 1895. And while gold-rush towns like Hope, Sunrise and Girdwood emptied after the Klondike Gold Rush ensued, places like Cooper Landing started becoming popular with big game hunters and fishermen.
The federal government soon saw the need for improved transportation routes from the ice-free port of Seward to Turnagain Arm and beyond. In 1915 it began building the Alaska Railroad to connect Seward to Fairbanks. The track was completed in 1923, the same year as an 18-mile-long stretch of road opened from Seward to Kenai Lake. Then another segment of what became the Seward Highway, connecting Hope to Moose Pass, was completed in 1928. My mother used to tell me stories of traveling that road from Hope to attend dances in Moose Pass.
The Mile 18 bridge, nicknamed “The Missing Link,” was not completed until 1946 – it connected the Seward and Moose Pass portions. Workers then went to work the next year to build a 138-mile-long road from Homer to meet up with the Seward Highway at Tern Lake Junction, 90 miles south of Anchorage. It took more than three years to finish. Territorial Gov. Ernest Gruening cut the ribbon to open this road – the Sterling Highway – on Sept. 6, 1950.
When the Seward Highway opened on Oct. 19, 1951, the people of Seward and the Kenai Peninsula finally were connected to Anchorage by a road system. Workers paved it in 1952.
Several miles of the highway sank below the high water mark of Turnagain Arm during the 1964 Good Friday Earthquake, so those pieces of the road and bridges damaged were raised and rebuilt.
The New Seward Highway, with its abundance of wildflowers and wildlife, is among one of the top most scenic drives in the United States.
This segment of Alaska Story Time with Aunt Phil aired on CBS Anchorage affiliate KTVA Channel 11 Daybreak on Oct. 20, 2016.
