... Les asked to put it on our credit card and have it shipped to Valdez. They told him that they no longer took credit cards over the phone because they had been burned too many times. What to do, what to do. Les pleaded with them to at least hold the part till we could figure something out. Les then called his Dallas office where he had worked and asked a friend there to go to the dealership and purchase the part and then go to Fedex and ship the part to ...

We set sail on the Lu-Lu Belle at 2:00pm. The captain talked from the time we got on until we got off the boat and we were on the boat about 8 hours. He did a good job, but could not believe that anyone could have so much to say. It was a beautiful day, a little overcast, but beautiful. The boat holds about 50 people and all were comfortable. We could move around the boat, going in and out as we wanted. The scenery is georgeous of course ...

... we&#8217;ll use any excuse to go out to eat); the FuKung Chinese restaurant was very good. <br> <br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br>The weather forecast was rain for the next week. The tour boats to Prince William Sound were cancelled because of small craft warnings and it didn&#8217;t sound like it would be getting much better. We skipped this tour and ended our stay in Valdez. <br>

... a bridge. It's a small brown bear! He's fishing at the junction along with seagulls and eagles. We parked our RV, and stepped outside onto the river bank. The bear was maybe 20 meters away from us, and he could come at us in 5 seconds. But we're not worried, because he seemed to focus on the fish, not people. A policeman with a gun persuaded a teenager away from the bear. He's a little too close. The bear was not in good luck, no fish. <br>

... experience and how appropriate to Praise God surrounded by his beauty. The Whitney Museum is at the Prince William Sound Community College. The museum showed a look at Alaskan life, cultures and wildlife mounts. Very nicely done. There was a black bear along the road as we were going to Old Valdez. I got a couple of great pictures. More history for Devon: Valdez was originally located about 4 miles from ...

... way to conquer the "Worthington Beast" as he called it. He even took pictures of himself at the moment of his glory when touching the ice. WOW!!! We then resumed our journey passing the Bridal and Horseshoe Falls, which were very beautifal falls from the mountain tops. Our journey to Valdez was almost complete. We arrived at our hotel, "The Best Western" located on the Valdez harbor. You wouldn't believe all the fishing boats ...

... quite a bit to send him alone with a different guide and a different vehicle (since the climbing trip is longer). Since they said we wouldn't have to add the difference in price, we decided to go for it (well, I'm not such an enthusiast of climbing in general, not to mention climbing in the ice, but there was no problem for me looking at the other guys climbing and taking pictures of them as they ...

... leaks now from the transmission side out! But the bis service just has do be done in California. In 2 days I ride from Homer all the way back to Anchorage and from there along an another attractive route to the final destination of the Trans Alaska Pipeline in Valdez. But there's little to be called Little Switzerland.... Here I can't avoid to experience the american Independence Day and stay overnight with a lot of bangs and shots of fireworks.

... that hurt him! BAH let it go and retrieve the little 45 lb halibut the other guy had kept waiting, and head for home. The trip back was uneventful and a lovely flat run in. Arrived back in port and the fish are unloaded and part of the deal is they are cleaned and filleted, Rick takes the time to run back to the Park to get the camera, The other travellers are inside the Castle watching a movie, GEE how exciting is that when one could be fishing? Earnie and Karon had spent the day ...
