Eagle Bed and Breakfast Valdez

... really nice and shouted the pizza and the rest of us sorted the drinks. <br><br>We had to pay for the next days kayaking adventure and then decided to head back to set up camp before dinner so we could completely relax. It was the quickest time ever setting up as it was teaming down with rain :-( We were really glad to have it done and be in the warm and dry pub. What a great idea!

This is what I'll be up to in the coming weeks (detail to be added on my return to the UK):<br><br>Alaska (camping)<br ...

... family. Good Sam found a repair shop for us and we went from there. The repairman called early Monday morning and said that it was the fuel pump. Then he gave us the news that Dodge had had trouble with the design of the fuel pump on our model of truck and that for him to order from the factury for the new pump would be months. 2 MONTHS. He said that if we could find the part and have it delivered, he would put it in he could have us on the road by the ...

... a lot longer than I expected. I meant to cross on the ferry. Kay figured out that we missed the turn when we were almost to Anchorage so it was easier to continue the long way around. Just added 200 miles.<br><br>Valdez is very nice. I rate it just behind Seward. Valdez was founded as a way to get to the gold fields. Miners landed at the mouth of the glacier stream and then ...

... TN friends left to head back to the States. We are sure going to miss traveling with them; had lots of good food and laughs together. They will be coming to Florida this winter so it won&#8217;t be long before we see them again.<br><br><br> <br>Went on the Valdez Glacier Guided Kayak trip among the icebergs and ice caves. We had on so many layers of clothes we could hardly move ...

We celebrated the 4th at beatiful Valdez. We were within walking distance to the parade and street vendors. There was a cookout at the camp ground. They cooked all the salmon and everyone brought a dish to pass. That was really nice. Fred & Bill went to the harbor to check out the fish that was brought in. Evelyn and I decided to chill out at the campsite. Wrong decision, they saw a 190lb halibut. The ...

... lunch at the Princess Lodge located at Copper Landing AK. This is a lodge owned by the Pricess Cruise Line. It was very nice, with a great view of the Wrangell St. Elias Mountains. There were no tours at the time so we had the restaurant to ourselves. The scenery along the way was breath-taking. The mountains were snow-capped, and waterfalls were plentiful. We stopped along the way at the Worthington Glacier. This glacier is ...

... a few hiking trails. Another cache took us out Mineral Creek Road. This was a dirt road that leads to a hiking trail, but before you get to the trail there is a nice waterfall. The road is washed out at the waterfall so we stopped there. It was soon time to board the LuLu Belle. This is a very nice boat, built by the owner and we were told that he lives on the boat. We were hoping that with a smaller number of people viewing would be easier, but the ...

Destination 250: km129'392 Mit neuen Zylinderkopfdichtungen und sogar fast komplett neuer Auspuffanlage habe ich beinahe ein voellig fremdartiges Reisegefuehl - aber die Maschine funktioniert wieder sehr zufriedenstellend, auch wenn ich nun Motoroel beim Getriebe verliere! Der Grosse Service muss halt eben in Kalifornien gemacht werden. Ich reise in 2 Tagen von Homer alles wieder zurueck nach Anchorage und von dort entgegen den Wetterberichten bei ...

... one guy hooks one and brings it up, it is a good size around 45 lbs and just as the decision to take it and head back, Rick hooks into something, it is extremely heavy, so the other guy leaves his in the water to keep it alive to wait out Ricks fish coming up. Again the battle is long and hard, no kidding it was a battle of attrition and this was heavier and more stubborn than the Skate, but I guess no one had informed the Alaskan fish of Rick's reputation for stubbornness, it ...
