Lovely Mountains All Day, a Salmon Bake and First Nation Children Perform
8-16-12
We had mostly all paved highway today so it seemed as if the drive was nicer than it had been, some days. And then the Alaskan Range 7 the Wrangell mountains were in sight all day and they were lovely. First we didn't see snow but then the snow did make an appearance. Part of the day we had a stream right by us as we drove, too!
Glenallen was our destination spot this day and we heard the news earlier, that the RV park/Museum was going to have an all community salmon bake and pot luck for us. After getting gas and checking into the Caribou Hotel, we got a few groceries and went to the RV park where many were staying. We were just ready for internet and a bath, so we were glad that we had made the motel choice. There was a cold wind all during the lovely potluck and presentation of the colors and First Nation children's entertainment. The legion museum even handed out free snacks, pens, etc. They were seemingly ready for a celebration. Their town looked as if it were suffering from the recession with many closed store fronts, but their welcome was very generous!
