It rained all night, all morning, all afternoon. At least it wasn't snow......
We went exploring and found the Valdez Museum where there were a few interesting exhibits
Like this Fresnel lens that was used to guard Prince William Sound
and this extinct North Pacific Fur Fish
We went to the ferry pier
and found the rain didn't dampen the true fisherman's passion.
When Pam ran into Smokey in S. Dakota, he told her to look up his cousin in Valdez. Wouldn't you know that she found her.
The park we are in and they have quite a few boats and people who are just there to fish for salmon and halibut.
Even the gypsies were here.
We were invited to our section's of the park Pot Luck dinner, with the main entree being slow smoked pork tenderloin and chicken. It was yummy!
Although the rain had abated by dinner time, they held it in the shed.
They had this old 1st generation Arctic Cat snow machine in there, powered by a 8hp, Tecumseh, 4 cycle engine.
Then we went for a drive
and caught this baldy through the fog.
We saw thousands of sea gulls in this one area so we investigated.
They were feeding on the thousands of salmon dying to get upstream.
I think the sea gulls won.
Tomorrow we're going to give Valdez one more chance for clearer skies before heading out for Tok.
