To Valdez

July 25, 2009
On to Glenallen. This again, is a beautiful drive, especially since the clouds cleared away giving us breath-taking views of Gunsight Mountain to the west and snow-covered Mount Sanford, Mount Drum Mount Wrangell, and Mount Blackburn to the east. Along the way we passed many disabled participants involved in a marathon around Alaska. After a quick visit to Glennallen’s Visitor’s Center we headed down the Richardson Highway toward Valdez. We traveled along the edge of the Wrangell-St. Elias National Park and Preserve which we’ll go into a bit on our way out. We parked for the night at a wayside suggested by a fellow RV blogger. We were able to back into an opening in the scrubs, out of the way and with nice views once again.


The weather here is nice, but over the mountain in Valdez they are having rain which is to clear up in the next day or two. Therefore, we’ve decided to hang out here getting work done and taking a break from being tourists for a couple of days until the weather clears in Valdez. We want good weather as we hope to take a Columbia Glacier boat tour, and perhaps a kayaking trip.


So you may not see a posting from us for a few days until we are again on the move and have something exciting to report.
