Day 356. July 28, 2014. Heading east

LOCATION:  Copper Center, Alaska on road south to Valdez
WEATHER:  Cloudy. High around 60

George spent the entire morning at the Honda shop in Anchorage trying to get the plug fixed that we use for our electric cooler.  No luck.  

To get to Valdez, we almost make a circle, as there is not a direct road.  First we drove north, then east, and now south towards Valdez.  On our way, we stopped at a musk ox farm.  They are huge. They farm them for their fur.


We had a picnic along the way.  More beautiful flowers.


Even though we are on the primary highway in/out of Alaska, it is mostly 2 lanes.  We caught a picture of this moose along the highway...



Copper Center (as in Copper River Salmon) is about 100 miles north of Valdez.  We are in a nice state park along a river.  It is managed by the next-door lodge who are a Russian family here via Miami.  We had a beer in their beer garden.

DINNER:  Happily, we have a good campfire ring here, so George grilled a steak. It was perfection.  Along with that, we had a salad, broccoli, and garlic toast.  We ate inside due to Mosquitos.  -(
