We woke up to sun this morning, two days in a row! We had cereal and wild blueberries for breakfast. We drove the rest of the Glenn Highway to Glennallen where we got gas. Then we drove south on the Richardson Highway toward Valdez. We took pictures along the way of Mt. Sanford - 16,237 feet, Mt. Drum - 12,010 feet, Mt. Wrangell - 16,390 feet and Mt. Blackburn - 16,390 feet. These mountains start at sea level. This time we got to see them with blue skies -- last month when we were in the Wrangell-St. Elias National Park it was rainy. The clouds started to roll in around 1 pm and soon it was completely cloudy again. We made a stop at the Worthington Glacier and walked all the way to it. I made Jim stop when we got to the part of the glacier that was covered with dirt. I didn't want to fall into a crevice. We took pictures of Bridal Veil and Horsetail Falls. We saw these the last time we drove out of Valdez a few years ago. We also saw a swan by a lake today. We got an RV site at Valdez Glacier Campground. Today's Sunday paper said that Anchorage did break the record for the most consecutive days with rain. It got to 78 degrees today.
