We are in Valdez, we are in an RV park that looks out over the bay. It is a very pretty sight, the whole area seems to be surrounded by high very jagged mountains with snow on the top. The drive into Valdez is breath taking, no wildlife but we did see a couple of glaciers.
We plan to drive the car and go back to visit and look over the glaciers, but it rained most of today and if it rains again tomorrow we will probably pass.
You have read my descriptions of the roads, but tonight Margaret pulled out her notes from our 1992 trip. One day during that trip we spent one whole 12 hour day driving in mud then dust and the motor home was filthy. I recall spending hours cleaning it. I did wash the MH and car today, they were dirty but no comparison to the 1992 trip. Another thing that has changed drastically is the price of gas. In 1992 gas in Willows, CA was $1.19 a gallon now it is $3.00 or more. Canadian 55.9 a liter then and as much as 114.00 now. There are 3.8 liters in a gallon My how the times have changed.
I will post some pictures of the drive into Valdez
