Recovering from the kidney stone episode, I was ready to get to a little bigger town. So we hooked up and went towards Wasilla. The drive on the Alaskan Highway was a little rough and the heaves are really bad in numerous areas. Again go slow and you are fine. We, the US of A, do not mark the heaves and rough road areas as well as the Canadians, so you need to be careful and keep your eyes on the road. The first 100 miles are nothing to see but all of a sudden the views get very interesting. The mountains start to appear and then you see this fabulous glacier. Even though the clouds were out today, the glacier was fantastic. Pictures especially with the cloud cover don't do this glacier justice. Take my word it was very cool! We also saw a moose and her baby, they were on the run, so our picture missed the baby:(
We had made reservations at one campground west of town but after arriving we couldn't justify staying there. It was a small campground with 99% full timers who had been there for a while. It wasn't for us so we moved on toward the east end of town and found the Big Bear RV Park that suits us just fine. I am feeling much better and after a good home cooked meal, I think I will survive from my kidney stone episode.
Please keep David in your prayers. He only has 2 more months in the Kuwait area and then back to Germany and his lovely girlfriend, Tiffany :)
