We went to breakfast this morning at Mickey D’s. It had been a while since we have been around a McDonalds and it was really good. We then moved the RVs from Fred Meyers to the Mendenhall Glacier Campground. It is a National Forest Service Campground so we got a discount on the fees. Not a lot however. They only gave us a 50% discount on the basic camping fee which was $10. The fee for water, electric, and sewer is $18 with no discount. We still got full hookup for $23 a day with 50 amp electric. Not bad, especially for Alaska. The sites are nice, large and level and surrounded by trees.
We drove out to the Mendenhall Glacier this morning. We had been to it before back in 2007 when we took the cruise ship up the inside passage. I will post a picture from each time just to show the difference. I have seen a lot of glaciers but never before one with this color of blue.
Just to show the size of the glacier, this picture was taken about a mile a way.
Twila and I got our obligatory picture and the second one is from 2007 with Gary and Mattie.
A couple of months makes a big difference in the heaviness of the coat needed.
There is a waterfall that dumps into the lake to the right of the glacier. To show how big it is, look at the people standing in front of it. By the way, I found out some of you might not know that if you want to see the picture better, click on it and it will open up larger in a different window.
