Fourth of July and we are traveling from Tok down to Seward, passing Anchorage (we had lunch there at Applebees). That was the most beautiful road so far (latter in Canada, from Jasper to Banff we had a better one), with some good motorcycle roads by the ocean, magnificent views of glaciers and beautiful little towns.
We saw this large glacier+tundra with ice. Passed thru some small towns that were celebrating 4th. July and had a good lunch (at 4 PM) in Anchorage.
The interesting was that we almost run out of gas. The only gas form Tok was in Gagona Junction (1 and 4 Alaska Highway) and remember I didn't get gas in Tok... I was hopping to get gas in Barnhart, since there is an airport there, but no gas station. So remember to get gas in Tok.
Then, in Seward we had a chance to walk for an hour and a half on our first Glacier, Exit Glacier. It was 9:00PM, with plenty of sun and light and the most beautiful blue ice. The noise of the ice cracking and dripping is fascinating. Nature is amazing!!
The town of Seward is nice. A lot of places to buy gifts and we did it. Shipped most of then to our home, since we have no space left on the bike.
There is a seaport there and a lot of boats and ships. In town there are campsites everywhere (all full) with big RV's and many tents.
Spend some time looking for ways to fix Eliane's comm..cable, but no luck. I gave her my cables so she could be listening music at least, but not being able to talk with each other is really bad. I will order a cable tomorrow from a Honda dealer, since the BMW dealer asked $97 just for the cable, plus $50 of shipping.
We slept in a very primitive campsite that night, with no showers, but very clean and nice at was 12:45AM next day (July 5) and still sun light at our campsite.
Temperature today was 51F to 70F.
