Day 55 - Chitnia to Tok - August 23, 2011

Getting into Liberty Falls State Park the night before was easy, compared to getting out.  Tight, tight, tight, not for the faint of heart.  Should have got a picture.  Oh well,  back on the road to head to Tok, "The Gateway to Alaska".  Once back on the Richardson Highway the road was good.

The scenery continued.

 Mt. Hood in the background.

Float planes are definitely the way to get around.

Pam got this rainbow when we hit a shower.

Then we hit the Tok cutoff, Highway 1.  Six miles of good road until we hit construction.   Then 20 miles of gravel.  Dusty gravel, following a pilot car at 20 mph.  Should have got a picture.  Then another 30 miles of dusty gravel at 35 to 45 mph.  Too much dust for a picture.  The good news was we were the lead vehicle.  The bad news was I had to maintain speed to keep lead vehicle status.   The gravel beat the crap out of Pam's car.   Now, I need to change the air filter on the motorhome.  Then, I'll get back in my doghouse.
