Arrival in Valdez - start point of the Alaska Pipeline

July 13 - Today was a short drive to Valdez, AK.  Not the best of roads but there was no rush to leave and we didn’t have any activities scheduled for when we arrived. 

We experienced fog again during the drive so thankful it was not an all day drive.  Ours is the largest of 4 campgrounds here and they are all full with caravan groups from varying companies.   Most of our group were given pull thrus and we are in the back of the park so we don’t hear much of the town or road noises.  We went ahead and went to the gas station next door and filled up so we can just get on the road on travel day.

Once we settled in and had some lunch Barb and I walked over to the Safeway and did our stocking up.  Boy, the prices are even worse here than they were in Canada.  I had sticker shock!  Glad I didn’t need meat, only lunch meat.

Our neighbors from Wisconsin, Dave and Laurie asked if we wanted to join them out for dinner so we did.  There isn’t a lot to pick from except small cafes and some outdoor places but the Best Western Hotel had good recommendations and we managed to get seated at the bar overlooking the harbor.  The food was excellent and pretty pricey but I enjoyed every bite.  We walked along the pier a bit and then headed back to the RV’s.
