Valdez, Alaska - Eagle Trail Campground, Alaska

Day 23 – Sunday, August 21 2005
Valdez, Alaska – Eagle Trail State Campground, Alaska
Miles Driven: 248

It was raining as we packed up to leave Valdez. We stopped at the local grocery store to stock up on a few supplies, filled up with gas, and headed toward Tok. At Glennallen we stopped at a hardware store and bought a windshield repair kit, hoping for a chance to repair the damage before it had a chance to spread. By the time we reached the Tok cutoff that leads back to the Alaska Highway it had stopped raining so we started looking for a campground. The first place we stopped had posted a sign warning of a problem bear that frequented the area. Since we had bought fresh meat to cook we didn’t want to send an invitation to the bear so we kept driving. We ended up at Eagle Trail State Campground about 20 miles from Tok, one of our longer days of driving. We enjoyed a good meal and it was not as cold as it had been the last few nights we had camped.
