Final Day in Valdez

The wind came howling in during the early morning hours and is expected to continue through Monday, so Bob's fishing charter has been cancelled. We also found out we couldn't have our campsite for another night, so Monday morning we head to Tok, Alaska.

Today, we went out to the Worthington Glacier Recreation Area and hit snow flurries as we drove through Thompson Pass. Grabbed a few quick pictures and headed back into town where the temp climbed from 38 at the glacier to 55 in town! We drove through the original townsite of Valdez which was destroyed in the 1964 earthquake. All that remains is the foundation of the post office. They moved the town east 4 miles and rebuilt. This beautiful port does not freeze but they typically get 300 inches of snow each year!!!!

Bob had an incredible afternoon fishing behind the camper! Saved a lot of money fishing from the shore. More silver salmon in the freezer tonight!

Despite the wind, it's been a beautiful afternoon, perfect for a few last minute shots of Valdez.

Just a bit teary at the thought that tomorrow is our last night in Alaska. This trip took a year of planning and lived up to every expectation. We would return in a heartbeat and hope we have the chance.
