Day 37

We got up at late o’clock and had a leisurely breakfast in the campsite restaurant, where we were served the best breakfast potatoes ever!!

The campsite owner told us that to keep the place open he has a real job, working 2 weeks on and 2 weeks off on a rig in Prudhoe Bay. Year round, where it gets to 60 degrees below freezing.

We had to find internet service to keep you guys up to date, ( didn’t want you worrying about us) so we drove to the nearest town, Glennallen, 35 miles away.

The library has free WiFi, so while Marlipops was taking care of bills and boring stuff online, I was chatting with the librarian, who told me they only get about 5 feet of snow here annually. It gets chilly, she said, so they only drive the 150 miles to Anchorage for groceries etc if it is 40 below, or warmer!!

Despite the fortitude, courage, valiantness and bravery displayed on the trip, your superhero Captain Cautious has caught a bug, and was poorly bad all day, so he went to bed early and Marlipops did the domestics.

So no wildlife watch today and no pix.
