Glennallen July 2nd July 4th.

 The road from Tok to Glennallen is pretty good, just a few rough spots. We are staying in a state park just out of town. Not much of a town, IGA, fuel station and a bank. There are some nice mountains to look at on the way here though. This is the best thing in town. Although it sounds British, it got it's name from these guys.  Major Edwin Glenn and Lt. Henry Allen, both leaders in the early explorations of the Copper River region.



Mt. Sanford.


The pullouts are never in the optimum place for photos, at least there are some.

Pat's pet peeve is road side garbage,  glad to say there has been very little. The most we have seen is at pullouts and usually there is a garbage can, go figure.

We have decided to stay here till after July 4th, not sure what the campground availability would be. We will have to get out the mosquito tent, as they are trying to pack us away. Even the thermocells are not very efficient with this many.

We did find a couple of caches in the area, one near where the above photos were taken.

 This campsite is laid out a little different, tent spot and picnic table, fire pit off to the side. I am standing by the fire ring for this photo.

Time to pack up and head to Valdez.

 Well we made it, 47 thousand steps, well, maybe a bit of an exaggeration but there are alot. A nice walk from the campsite, got a few caches on the way. Our loop, first come first served, is quite empty. I think the reserved aera has more campers. Here are a few photos from our walk. We wern't sure if these guys would let us pass but they just moved along wiithout any fuss. Till next time.

Skagway

One of the main attractions in Skagway is the White Pass Railway. As it goes almost the same route to and from Whitehorse as driving, we decided not to bother with the train.  We drove back up the hill to take a few pictures. In the photo below, you can see the rail line just above the guard rail on the right, it goes up the valley, and back out on the mountain side on the left. The highway stays on this side of the main valley. There was supposed to be a geocache at this waterfall. We didn't find it, or the three other ones we looked for in Skagway. Looking down the valley towards Skagway. On the Thursday before we got there, a rock slide came down and hit the gangways and a cruise ship. There wasn't much damage but they had to call in the inspectors before they could move the ship. It came down right where the ship to the left is sitting. On the way to Dyea, now a ghost town, returning to nature. Skagway is the perfect tourist town, beautiful scenery, with the town very close...
