Valdez

Valdez

Arrived from Tok, 260 miles and some construction and mud.  Probably 12 miles of torn up roads full of equipment.  Did I mention the mud?  Heard of a gesture some other folks who have traveled these same roads, so we have been offering a piece of candy to the flaggers as we go by.  Doesn’t speed up the delay, but we do get a nice smile!

Arrived at the Bayside RV park and parked near the small boat harbor.

Didn’t need to worry about getting here before dark.

Plenty of fishing here.

Toured a couple of the small museums.  Two major events have defined this town.  The Valdez oil tanker spill in 1989

and the earthquake of 1964.  Both events occurred on Good Friday…  The earthquake caused enough damage that the entire town was relocated to its present location.

After all that good news, we need to brace ourselves.

Found a watering hole that knows how to dress a glass of tomato juice…
