June 28:

Made 344 miles yesterday, and 

Spent the night at a State Park just outside of Glenallen - $15.00- no hookups, but very level sites in the deep woods, so very private and quiet as well, but the SKEETERS were AWFUL!  Sorry no pic of our campsite! I kind of needed to keep SOME of my blood!  Did not unhook from the truck…  took this picture shortly after midnight…  

After leaving the State Park at Glenallen this morning, we continued on the Richardson Highway, on down to Valdez.  Along the way, even though it was VERY foggy and drizzly, THIS was what we saw:

Worthington Glacier was ESPECIALLY wonderful!  Even though partially obscured by HEAVY fog cover, it was breath taking!  

Neat textured rock in the glacier area.

 

Took these 2 of the glacier with the long lens.

Snow and glacier 

These sure do look like Texas Bluebonnets!  

Stopped for one lane traffic at one point in the Thompson pass as there was a rock slide and they were working very hard to get it cleared up. Could only see about 2 car lengths ahead at some points…

Snow in Keystone Canyon, right after the landslide

Farther down the highway, we saw  and Horse Tail Falls and Bridal Veil Falls

Got to our campsite at Valdez about 2:00 - about 12o miles today, but not bad time, considering the photo stops, fog, one lane traffic problems.  The campground is a VERY level gravel lot - NO MUD!  Set up and went over to the Ferry to see about getting a reservation for next Wednesday to go to Whittier for the truck, Bird and us - so we are SET!  Then came back to see about extending our stay here a couple more days - we had reservations for just 3 nights, but they still have room - we just have to move to another spot for the last 2 days - a Rally is coming in to THIS area - but no big deal for us - again, very level spots..  He is hoping to get this messy camper and truck washed - he is gonna be a BUSY boy, laundry AND cleaning the outside stuff!  LOL!  I will cook a few things up for the next week or so… Can't WAIT to see Valdez harbor without Fog covering these wonderful mountains!!!!  Thinking about taking a Glacier tour as well...

Stay tuned, Folks!! Hoping to have some GREAT pix of the glaciers and the Ferry to Wittier!
