From Talkeetna to Valdez - city displaced 4 miles by 1964 earthquake and termination of Alaska pipeline

Polychrome mountains - gypsum, not copper

On to Valdez - stayed overnight at Copper Center - camping right next to Klutina River.  Fishermen up and down the banks.  Trip thus far has been beautiful, passing snow covered mountains and the Matanuska glacier.  It's amazing the beauty in Alaska, just traveling along the road.  Very few roads - I can see the difficulty they could have building roads.  Just a few mountains, glaciers, rivers, lakes in the way.

Road re-construction along the way.  Sharing the dirt road with these big fellas.  Course, they probably feel the same way about us.
