This is one of the masterpieces of Alaska, I have never failed to make a top in Hope, and if you are ever this way, I recommend it. Hope is unique to any other place I have ever been. The main street has two buildings…a café and a bar named ”Café” and “Bar”, and a 15-site campground which was about half-full last night. At the end of the street, just past the campground is Resurrection Creek where there will be a pretty good pink Salmon run in about a month. With a population of 150, you’d think business would be poor in Hope. Not so. The bar was busy, and I noticed the deck between the bar and café was new construction, so I asked Annie the bartender what’s with that. She said the deck had some rotten places and needed replacing, so last fall, they burned it down. Now consider that it was attached to both buildings, sounds a little risky to me. Annie also said that this past weekend, Memorial Day, she ran out of beer at the bar…guess they had a crowd.
This was my view from the RV this morning. Cook’s inlet and the Chugach Mountains across the way.
Headed to Seward today, about 50 miles south of here, and possibly some Halibut fishing, so…Stay Tuned
