We left Grizzly Lake RV this morning about 9:30am. We were planning on stopping at the Grumpy Grizz in Tok for breakfast. When we came through there June the 10th and 11th, we ate breakfast there a couple of times and not only was it good but they had free coffee and breakfast could be ordered anytime. We got there about 11:20am only to discover they now stopped breakfast at 11am. Bummer! We really were ready for breakfast. We survived and had lunch instead. After lunch we filled up with diesel at the station next door to the Grumpy Grizz. We had gone 535 miles since filling up and I put 76.97 gallons in so I got 6.95 mpg with 3 days of dry camping at Valdez. The diesel was $3.899 per gallon so it cost me $300.10 to fill up. This should get me to Haines where we will fill up before getting on the ferry.
We pulled out of Tok and headed towards the Canadian Border on the Alaskan Highway again. We stopped at the same place we had spent the night on June the 10th. It is a nice level loop off the highway with some picnic tables and a fire grill. It was one of our prettier days so we decided to cook some smoked sausages over the fire. We also had some canned chili we had brought from home and Mattie made some potatoes wedges. About 6:30pm we moved into Gary and Mattie’s trailer to play cards and then had cherry pie and coffee for dessert. Rough duty, but we can handle it. I took this picture right after we had eaten and cleared the table.
Looking back I don’t think I reported on what if cost us to dry camp right on the bay in Valdez. It was $12 a day so the 3 days only cost us $36 plus diesel to run the generator.
