The towns are getting smaller - Tok!

July 12 -  Short drive day today.  Thanks Goodness!  It was only 84 miles to Tok, AK but it was still a bit hilly and curvy.  Not nearly as bad as we have been on.  We were following Dave and Donna and we slacked back a ways as he drives a bit faster.  Then close to the end I caught up to him.  We are all happy campers tonight as we all got full hookups with drive thrus!  Yea!  The only thing missing is WIFI but you can get it free in the office.  Actually they have a room between the office and the bar that has 2 folding tables to use for laptops.  I took mine in and managed to do what I needed to do as I forgot to take my charge cord. 

We went up to the bar and sat with 2 other couples and 2 singles.  They don’t serve food so I did a small patter of cheese and crackers.  They were all very appreciative.  We sat and visited for about an hour then it was time to get back to the RV and get some dinner ready. 

I had cut up and cooked a rutabaga when we first arrived while I made a small pan of Betty Crocker Peanut Brittle.  I got the rutabaga done for dinner and got out the leftover beef and shredded it and put some beef broth in to moisten it.  I mashed the rutabaga which is how Bill likes it , and added some butter and milk.  It’s kinda like mashed potatoes.    I didn’t used to like it but now it’s grown on me.  We had tomatoes from my 3 plants and they were delicious.  Now we have to wait a week for so for the next batch.

I did 2 loads of laundry here and will do another 2 once we reach Valdez, our destination for tomorrow.  It’s going to be a long day with 300+ miles.  Ugh!  As long as it doesn’t rain I am happy.
