22 May – Off to Anchorage

We departed Valdez after coffee and breakfast in the Toyhouse.

We drove around to the other side of the Valdez inlet, to where the Alaska Pipeline terminal is.   Hopefully, we’ll be seeing the other end of the pipeline (Prudhoe bay) by the end of the week.

Our route today took us backtracking from Valdez, back to Glennallen, then a west turn toward Anchorage.  The drive was along a mountain chain that produces several Glaciers that flow inland, we stopped a couple of times and hopefully got some good photos.

This was one of the objectives of the trip, to see glaciers, well today, we weren’t disappointed.

We’ll spend the night on the shore of the Knik River, It seems to be a popular place for the dune buggy guys, Hopefully they won’t be spending the night too.  🙂

Anchorage Sunset > 10:56 pm,  Sunrise > 4:57 am

Mileage >> 294  –  15.1 mpg
