Leaving Willow – again

Friday morning started with a visit from our new pet moose, Clover.  She stops by Phil’s frequently now.  Phil promised to give us updates on her after we leave.

We left Phil, Elsie, and Lorraine around 10:30 this morning.  We had a wonderful visit and will miss the wonderful scenery, Clover, cribbage games, and camaraderie! 

Our first stop was to Starbuck’s for Internet access.  Then we hit the road for Glennallen where we’ll stop overnight on our way to Valdez.  It was a beautiful, sunny, warm day so I’ve included a couple of pictures of the wonderful scenery we experienced.

  

Frequently we see words written in the dirt on the side of the road.  Rocks are used to make these words.  Here is an example of what we see.

We are parked overnight in a simple gravel parking lot.  Calling this a campground would be misleading!  It does have Internet access, electricity and it is cheap, for just one night.  We’ll be spending a couple of days in Valdez next, so we can rough it now.  Then we’ll slowly head back North to get to the only road to the lower 48!
