   So, after we got back to the spit, we hopped in the car and drove to Seward. Along the way we stopped and watched people fishing for salmon and met a couple of locals who suggested we go up the road a little to Russian River Camp site to be able to walk along the board walk and get a closer view - also said it was a beautiful place to see -warned us to be loud though to scare away the bears. They had some great bear stories - very funny.
   The camp site was full, too bad, it really was a beautiful spot - I would go back again. Got to see a lot of fishing, no bears (I think the bear bell works too well). They really had bear gear set up there though - food had to be keep in their steel bear resistant cabinet things, you had to go to their designated areas for food prep and also to eat - which is safe anyway, but wow they had stuff posted everywhere - I think it was because of the fish - it attracts the bears all on it's own.
    When we got into Seward we went to dinner and asked the waitress for campsite recommendations - with showers. She said that most of them didn't have showers but that you could use the Marina showers with quarters. When we asked about laundry (and showers) she recommended Bear Creek RV Park, she thought they had tent sites too - which they did - free and unlimited nice showers and laundry that you could use with quarters (they have free WiFi too if you have your lap top with) and a free small breakfast in the morning.  It is a wooded site - I missed the water but we weren't there for long - slept, showered, did laundry and headed out.
