Glennallen, AK

What a beautiful drive here today through the mountains from Portage to Glennallen. Stopped for groceries and gas in Palmer at Fred Meyer's. Gas was $2.61/gallon. The price is coming down. Along the way there was a two day "Fireweed" 400 round-trip bike race to Valdez, which begins and ends at Sheep Mountain Lodge.  It can be 50, 100, 200 or 300 miles. We saw at least 30 cyclists. Arrived at the Tolsona Wilderness Campground at 1:00pm. It's a Good Sam's Park so we get a $5.00 discount. Mosquitoes are free. Wi-fi available near the restrooms, not at our campsite.
