Woke up to a pipeline crew taking over our rest stop, they had some cool looking air boats. Not sure what they were going to do with them. Lots of construction delays on our way to Valdez, so it took over 3hrs to travel the 120 miles. Our first stop is the Alyesca pipeline – […]

Read More →With the rains, thunder & trains going by every 90 minutes we had a restless night, but the one saving grace was the free sani dump and potable water. Almost made it worth the lack of sleep. It was a long drive to Steward BC, thru the torrential downpour and numerous road construction, but once […]
Read More →Another long travel day with not much to see but grassland & cows. We stopped for the night at White Swan Municipal Park on Fraser Lake a very nice and free RV campsite on the water. And we topped off the evening with a lightning storm during dinner a very nice and entertaining way to […]
