Sunday July 24 - Day 19

Another beautiful drive


Buddy filming the Alaskan Pipe Line


The Worthington Glacier




Setting up camp in the rain in Valdez at the Bear Paw RV Park



Our afternoon catch
 Left Dry Creek Camp at 8:00 am in the rain and made it to Valdez, AK by 11:00 am.  The drive over here was just incrediable, with glacier after glaceir, mountain peaks coming up through the fog and river after river. Set up camp at the Bear Paw RV Park right in town, not a lot of choices here.  Temp is about 51 degrees, very foggy and guess what...it's still raining.  Drove around the little town and down to the harbor to get ideas where to go fishing.  Put on our muck boots and rain gear and headed over near the Anchor Point Terminal.  Fished for about an hour and only caught 1 Salmon, back to the Hardware store to buy more Pixie Hooks and then back to the water.  This time we ended up with a total of 7 Salmon, Judy's being the biggest and Buddy catching the most.  Took them to the fish cleaning station and some guys fillet them out for $5 and then to the Fresh and Freeze Market and they vacuum pack and froze them for $8.  We didn't get back to camp until 9:00 pm, BBQ'd up some fresh caught Salmon and Bison Steaks....Absolutely Delicious!!!!!  Didn't get to bed until about 11:30, and listen to it pour rain all night......something new.  LOL see pic below


Judy catches the first & biggest fish of the day....check out her cool outfit! I was sooooooooooooo cold!
