Day 26
We woke up at Lulu’s camp
to a little rain and 47 degrees. Fog laying on the river. It was beautiful even
though I am not thrilled to see more rain.
We are heading to Valdez and then turn back around and head up to Tok. As we move further east the rain and cold pick up. We pulled off to see the big glacier we saw on the way to Anchorage last week. We got a break in the weather, and it was not raining, and it was visible.
Man, it was cold. We pulled
into the Glenn Allen junction and went into the Visitors center as they have
free coffee. We decided after talking to the staff in there to skip Valdez and
head to Tok. It is about 140 miles to Valdez from here. We would hit it and
then turn around and head back up through here on the way to Tok. Weather is
showing possible snow on Thompson Pass along the way down. We said BS to that
and pointed the front wheel to Tok.
As we are heading north, we are driving out of the Sevier storm, and it is warming up to 51 degrees. Feels like a heat wave for sure.
We are following the Gakona River. It is huge and muddy as it is glacier fed which puts a lot of silt into it.
As we get closer to Tok (About 50 miles to go) we roll up to a mommy and baby moose. Well, what do you do? You cast them as stars and give them a leading role. They performed perfectly. After we gave them a Grammy Award we pegged up and throttled back into Tok.
We found a laundry mat and
thru all our wet cloths and gear in the dryer. Then rolled over to Fast Eddys
for dinner.
Boyd is checking his chain
again and adjusting it a little more at camp while I work on this blog.
Let’s see what tomorrow brings.
