7 24 12 Glenn Allen AK

 The maintenance man's job is never done !


 Our site at Tok Alaska

The day started out with a light drizzle.  Our truck and 5th wheel are so nasty due to the construction on the roads up here.  The 5th wheel has tar stuck to it.  We had to ride over fifteen miles behind a lead car through a construction zone, that they were paving the highway.  Messy !!! Rick got up this morning and decided drizzle or no drizzle he was washing the truck and the front of the 5th wheel.  Oh my....The front of the 5th wheel was covered with bugs, good thing they washed off easily.  Truck came pretty clean too for all that was on it.  The bottom of the 5th wheel will need a lot more to get the tar off it.  Will deal  with that one later.  The road from here to Anchorage is very bad with construction and frost heaves, so we took an alternate route....sure glad we did as the scenery was breath taking in some spots.  To take a picture does not do it justice.....some you just have to see.  We came to Glenn Allen and then will head toward Anchorage tomorrow.  Let me tell you one thing......the mosquito is KING here.  They swarm like flies at a bbq !!  Feel tired early here , not use to their being four hours behind what we are use to.  The high today was 61, stayed around 58 or 59 most of the day!!  It seems so strange to go to bed at 10:30 and it is still daylight outside.  We are so exhausted though that we fall right off to sleep.  Till the next time I have wifi .......
