June 21, 2022 - Valdez, AK - 170 miles

The weather in Alaska can change in 5 minutes. When we went.to bed last night it was partly cloudy and just a couple of hours later there was a major storm with lightening. We have also had the temperature drop 15 degrees in 5 miles when riding the bike.

Soon after we left Lake Louise we came to road construction across the entire road. They directed traffic off the road bed to a muddy two track path. We made it through in one piece but it took 3 construction guys to push us after we got stuck in the mud. Susie did a great job hanging on, counter-leaning to keep us from falling over and taking it all in stride. 

Once we got through that fun and excitement we visited our new friends Tom and Kim owners of the Old Town Copper Center Inn who I first met about 2 weeks ago.

We then continued on to Valdez. There was low cloud cover so we didn't get the full impact of Thompson Pass but it was still a nice ride. Maybe it will be clear and sunny when we leave in 2 days so we can get a better view.
