Slept in a bit this morning, maybe 9:00? It rained most of the night, it is so nice
sleeping in the RV when it is raining, it is just like rain on a tin roof.
Charlie went fishing again, but didn’t catch anything. I washed off Didi and Bessie, easy to do
since they had been wet all night. I was
surprised we did not see a moose last night, there is moose poop everywhere in
the campground. But I never caught sight of one.
We left around noon, headed to the Gukana River. That is where we talked to the older couple
last month, and they were still there, but no one else was – so obviously the
fish have not started running yet.
Drove on down to the Gultina River, there were people there
fishing so we stopped to try our luck.
It was much lower, but still the glacier water you cannot see through,
so you are fishing blind. Tried out the
new waders, Charlie said they were great, so we are pleased at the
purchase. No bites, so we headed out to
the Wrangler-St Elias National Park.
Largest and newest I think…. I believe it encompasses the Alaskan Range! Had
lunch there and filled up our water bottles and talked to the people the visitor
center.
Stopped for gas at the Hub again, paid 4.40 – some of the
highest we have paid here. Then we drove
down to a valley we had seen on our first trip through. (It is where we stopped for coffee and cookies
in late June) – This time we drove down this long dirt road and stayed where we
had seen other RV’s before. It was very "off the road" and simply beautiful. I truly felt we were boondocking there.
Made stir-fry for dinner and settled in, it was cold down in
the valley, I can tell we are not in Fairbanks anymore.
