We sadly leave Valdez as this is the last water community we will visit on this trip. It is a long day driving over 250 miles to Tok. We go back the way we came for half the trip and then another highway to our campground. The scenery is spectacular with snow covered mountains and lush lakes and fir trees.
We stay at the Sourdough Campground as we did on the way up and we like it here. The sites are large and wooded. This is the place with the outdoor dinner and entertainment and the pancake toss. Tonight we are scheduled to go to a salmon bake on the main road. I have been trying to call the restaurant for days to reconfirm and the phone just rings and rings. So we drive over and the place is closed at lunchtime and I get a little nervous. They have a sign directing you to the next door restaurant for their RV park reservations so we drive over there. The hostess tells me the bad news that the salmon bake has closed. Oh dear, I have to feed 23 people in a few hours.
One of my strengths is organizing so I simply asked if this restaurant could accomodate us for dinner. Luckily they were able to make room for us and that is a good thing since it is the only place in town to eat that we can all fit in at once. I selected some menu items and set out to take dinner orders and we herded everyone over at the appropriate time. It all turned out well as they had a lovely salad bar and the food was good with nice size portions. One more catastrophe averted.
Before we went to dinner, Jeff and I moseyed over to the pavilion to watch some folks pick their guitars and sing. We enjoyed joining in the vocals and talking to the band members as they arrived for their show. Wish we could have stayed there and hopefully some day we'll go back. Jeff managed to borrow a guitar and join in for a song or two and it made his day.
