Between Adventures
After the Fourth of July excitement in Anchorage, I slowed down for two quiet days of writing, photo editing, organizing gear, and preparing for my flight to Dutch Harbor. Between catching up on work, reflecting on the journey so far, and reviewing the Anchorage Ship Creek RV Park, these ordinary days became an important transition before heading into Alaska's Aleutian Islands.
Drive To Anchorage
Leaving Valdez, I expected a short drive to Anchorage. Instead, the day turned into a nine-hour journey with a stop at the Wrangell-St. Elias Visitor Center, an unexpected conversation about beavers with a park ranger, colorful mountain landscapes, views of the Matanuska Glacier, and a noisy introduction to Anchorage.
