As stated earlier, Valdez is a port and everything is geared to fishing. We visited the area out of town where there is a fish hatchery and saw thousands of salmon. The pictures are dark because our first day in Valdez was pretty and all the rest were wet and cool…highs in the 50s.
Notice the dark areas in the water…those are salmon…there were so many they made the water look dark.
There was a very shallow area where the sea gulls were having a field day with the salmon. The first day we came to this area there was a black bear right in the middle of the gulls having his dinner…wouldn’t you know it, my camera battery had gone dead minutes before. We went back the next day and spent and hour or so watching but the bear did not return.
This is one of the ferries that is part of the marine highway.
View from our RV space in Valdez. This, whatever it is, is actually sitting in the water…the fog was so bad and the cloud cover so low you could not see it.
Upon leaving Valdez, Mark and Sue headed by to Anchorage to get Vic to the airport for his flight back to Lake Charles and Bob and I struck out for Tok.
Moving On.
