Well back again, after we are rode the beautiful canyon into Valdez we got settled in our room and as usual we were in late.
Valdez is any other fishing village I have seen on the coast of Wa. Old hotels, fishermen telling fish stories SOS. BUT!
George and I are hungry and he does his phone thing as he did the whole trip finding places to eat or stay. Good job George.
We walk to town and there were Three, Four places to eat but George wanted to go here.
The Fat Mermaid.
We both had a couple of brews, and ate Hors d'oeurve's for dinner. Me I could have had a couple of more brews but it didn't matter as the smell of the harbor was intoxicating! When we finished we walked a bit.
Like I said, the night was intoxicating. George let me no it was time to get back! Dam it where's that six pack!
The nest morning the hotel had a decent breakfast so we enjoyed loaded up and walked across the street and went to the Valdez museum.
I've lost a few pic's that told a story about a cruise ship catching fire and the life boat. Also one of what they call the pig, the pigs are use to go thru the pipeline to clean the paraffin of the walls of the pipe or do other types of maintenance. Oh well.
The museum was nice and also told the story of the big quake in the early sixty's, an old work mates wife RossAnn dad died when the tsunami came. I saw his name on the list.
Before
After
After we were done with the museum we rode around town a bit.
Cruise ship in port.
We both though the little cruise boat would have been fun but like Denali nither of us wanted to look at each other that much.
It was time to head for Tok the way we came in.
The canyon is so lush.
Again Thompson pas is just awesome.
I told you earlier that we saw a Glacier but didn't know the name, on the way in we decided that we would stop on the way out.
Really saw more from the Rd, that's OK.
On to Tok.
Lots of scrawny trees, to harsh of and environment!
Kind of a wide open ride, meaning lots of open country.
Hit a bit of construction, no biggie.
Spent the night in Tok at the Golden Bear and ate at Fast Eddie's.
