8-6-2010 --

Friday, 8-6:  A one day trip from Valdez to Tok, Alaska.  We are 90 miles from the Canadian border.  Staying one night at the Sourdough Campground in Tok.  The road from Valdez to Tok was ok -- not too many frost heaves.  Tomorrow will be another story.  When we came over this section of the road before, it was full of breaks and heaves.  At least we will know what to expect.  However, Marilyn will have a rough time of it.

Took part in a pancake toss tonight.  If you got the pancake into the "buckit," you won a breakfast.  Needless to say, our bocce skills didn't help us with the floppy pancakes!

I'm posting this tonight because when we reach Canada, I'm not using my air card but will rely on whatever we can get as far as connecting to the Internet.  We will be back in Alaska when we go to Skagway and Haines for a few days and I'll be back on the blog, then back into Canada again.

The mosquitoes are numerous and huge in this campground.  One thing about rainy, cool weather, you don't have the bugs!

    You are on the ball! We are at Copper Centre tonight, spent last night at Chitina, very interesting. Not what we expected though. The road from their through to Kennecott was pretty grim so gave it a miss. Saw the salmon wheels in operation, the guy gave us 2 fillets, they had just brought in about 30 from the wheel!
    Ian is out fishing now...glorious spot beside the river. Meg
