    Thanks so much for keeping us apprised of your travels! It’s good to hear that you’re not experiencing the smoke right now. Fingers crossed that the wildfires are controlled before you reach Canada. We’re excited for you, what a great trip you have planned.

    Safe journey! We got our rig out Friday for the first trip of the year. Just a long weekend to Murphy, NC. Can't wait to retire and hit the road and hopefully hook up with you guys. Just 20 months to go but who's counting!? Have a wonderful trip. Thanks for sharing it with us. Xoxoxo

Allison Point, Valdez

 We drove the 14 miles to get to the other side of the Port of Valdez.  It would have been 3 miles, if we had a boat!  This road leads to the Solomon Gulch Hatchery.  We saw quite a spectacle with the sea lions "fishing" and the gulls presenting some stiff competition! Robert did some more fishing, farther up the road, while I was entertained by Harbor seals snorting and "roaring"!   At the far end of this road, is the end of the Alaska Oil Pipeline.  With high security at their gate, no vehicle traffic is permitted in there.  We can see the pipeline and its equipment, from across the bay near the Valdez Marina (3 miles away!)  We see oil tankers docked there every day.  We did a short hike on the Dock Point Trail, with some pretty views of the harbor.  We had the experience of going on this hike at low tide.  Forgot to look at the Tide Tables, which everyone here has and is well-versed on.  So we did a low tide pic, and l...

(visitors who get to view Denali) On our previous trip in 2016 we were fortunate to see it from several angles and distances.  This time we were not so lucky.  You can see that Denali is totally covered in snow.  This is the best we were able to capture from the bus during a short window when it allowed us to see it: Another misfortune of the park, is the narrow road that allows you to travel via bus to the farthest point 92 miles into the park, has collapsed. ...
