New post

Here is a new update.  It's often hard to find a location that offers Wi-Fi.
 
 
 
 
There are some really interesting outhouses along the way.  This one is elevated...not sure why, but the view was great.  I (Tim) knew I would be roughing it on this trip with a lot of late night trips out to the woods, but when you are in a campground with other campers, and it never gets dark, it's hard to find a concealed location.     
 
 
 
We keep seeing animals that we don't see in Chillicothe.


 







After 4000+ miles, it was time to get the oil changed in the van.  In Tok, AK, we found a gas station that had an outdoor pit where oil was changed.  Had a great talk with this guy and decided to include him in our blog. 

 
 
  Here are a few shots of some of the beautiful sites that we have seen. 
Worthington glacier

Horsetail Falls

Mineral Creek Trail in Valdez

Commercial fishing boat and Tender

Tender (boat that collects the fish from the smaller boats)

Birds on the bridge on the way to fish hatchery
 
 In Valdez, we came across this hanging halibut and Tami took this picture just for the "halibut". 


We took a 6 hour ferry ride from Valdez to Whittier.  Very cold, but we saw lots of calving ice chunks from a glacier.
