Leaving Valdez and Worthington Glacier, we stopped at the Tazlina
River bridge rest area again for a couple of days, and then moved on to the
Glenn Highway westward. It is still a busy place, with a few vehicles parked
with us every evening.

We spent a night at mm 118, on a hill overlooking a pretty
valley. It’s a long double-ended turnout. We had a pickup and trailer park right
beside us, so people had to squeeze through between us. Why? I have no idea,
there was only a camper behind us. Lots of room in front and behind. So after about a half hour we moved ahead, away from him. They eventually left, must have needed a driving break.
We stopped at Matanuska Glacier State Recreation Site. There
is a small parking lot when you turn in, and then keep going is a larger lot.
They also have a campground there.
There were a couple of places we had planned on checking out
per The Milepost, but they were filled, or not able for us to get in to. There’s
a lot more people in July and August boondocking. We stopped at a pullover near
Sutton beside some trees and the river. Not a scenic place, but it has 4 bar
Verizon LTE and we’ll head to Palmer on Monday to pick up a package from the
post office. It’s a busy pullover place; lots of potty breaks in the trees. (Actually,
one was beside us!)
We had quite the surprise on Saturday. Some people we know
from our hometown in North Dakota, that were on the fire department with Curt,
stopped by. They few up with another couple to visit from friends that live in
Palmer. They just happened to be driving by and thought that sure looked like a
vehicle we know. Looked at the North Dakota license plate - Small world!
