Sunday, July 24, 2011 to Tok, Alaska

We are on the road again but what an eeiry road it is.  It is misting and as you can see below, the clouds are very low.  We could barely see the RV in front of us but I thought it made some great pictures.  We were just hoping that it would clear up after a short time and, of course, it did.  Took a little while but the sun did try coming out.



















We were puzzled when we saw these poles that look like lights but don't have any lights so I asked a gal that was working in a store and she told me they were used for the snow plowers to keep them on the road.  On the sides and on the top section there is reflective tape to help them see them at night as well.  They need something so they don't go down the mountain.  Very clever we thought!!















The sun came and went but again the clouds dipped down and left this beautiful picture.  This time, the clouds didn't come down to the ground so we were able to see where we were going.  yeah!!















There is always beautiful scenery to be found around every corner.  I liked this one w/the flowers, river, trees and mountain.  Trust me when I tell you that I'm only using such a small amount of pictures that I'm actually taking in this blog.

The pipeline is still running in this area and Pump Station #12 is here between Valdez and Tok.











It was a uneventful day, which is always good.  We stop for lunch, stretch, have a cup of coffee and move forward; however, today we hit a lot of bad roads - washboard type.  Our speed was reduced which made our trip even longer, but we got there in one piece. 
The road was very dusty so when we pulled into our campground, we washed down the RV and Jeep as quickly as we could.  The staff was putting on a dinner for us so we had to hurry.  Always a nice treat not to have to fix dinner after a long day on the road.  We played cards for a while and said Goodnight!!
