1. We biked the whole if the Glenn Highway to Glenn Allen. It was beautiful and difficult. Very up and down. The people we met and the scenery were some of the best so far.
2. We were planning in taking 3-4 days to get to Valdez on the Richardson Highway from Glenn Allen. Our first day was beautiful as we had views of the Wrangell St. Elias mountains and National Park.
3. Our second day we planned to go 30 to 50 miles at most. We climbed a huge difficult pass and the campground at the top was closed. So there was no where to wild camp so we pushed to Valdez for a total of 83 miles for the day. It was very hard but satisfying. And the last 25 miles into Valdez is absolutely stunning.
5. We saw two separate black bears on the road. The first one really freaked me out. But we were fine. And I saw my first bald eagle in real life which was totally cool.
6. We stayed in Valdez for a few nights because Deanna has a friend there and the ferry doesn't run everyday. It wax nice to relax but I was ready to hit the road.
7. We took the ferry to Whittier and Deanna's friend Jim picked us up. We stayed at his house last night in Soldotna and planned out next few days. We ate going on. Three day two night sea kayaking trip with Jim as the guide and sleeping on an island somewhere. I know this is a bike trip but really it is just an adventure. We will finish out the trip by biking to Anchorage.
That's about it for now. Much more i don't have time or patience to write.
