Leaving Tok and headed to look for Salmon!





 
June 23, 2012
Made oatmeal for breakfast and put the bread in the loaf pans to rise.  Headed into town and bought gas, 4.25 a gallon, but you got a free RVwash and free dump and water so that was nice.  We washed off Bessie and Didi – which was good, they seriously needed a shower. 

Went to the PO and the Visitor Center, bought a map of state campgrounds, and mailed our postcards. 
Headed down the Glenn Highway, and tried several creeks for fishing, no luck -but again, it was beautiful just being in the streams.  We heard the fish/red salmon were running in Gakona and Gulkana rivers, but there has been so much melt off on the glaciers and snow from the mountains that the streams and rivers are pretty swollen.  ( don’t I sound like a native…. ) We met an older couple at Gakona and they told us some places to try. 
We ate out for dinner tonight, we passed a café selling breakfast for 3.99 and we went in and had eggs, toast and hash browns. : )  This was the first meal we bought “out” other than the subway sandwich Charlie bought in Yellowstone. 
 
We stayed at Dry Creek campground, and the bugs were amazingly abundant!  So I stayed inside….  I did bake the bread and some biscuits so we do have that for the next few days.  Tomorrow we are headed to squirrel creek campground and Valdez.
