3 days in Tok

July 27-29     THREE DAYS IN TOK

We had a leisurely ride from Kenny Lake to Tok, stopping frequently to admire the view of the Wrangell Mountains and the Copper River.

Mt. Sanford--16,237 ft. 

Mt. Wrangell, an active volcano.   14,163 ft. 

When we arrived back at the same campground where we stayed in Tok a month ago, Gary discovered that he had a leak in his radiator.  Fortunately, he was able to contact a RV repairman nearby and make arrangements for a repair tomorrow.

After dinner, we all settled in to watch the opening ceremonies of the Olympics.

Steve and Gary took the RV to the shop this morning, and poor homeless Barb and I spent the day together.  We had seen about all there is to see when we were here before, so we watched the Olympics and shopped at the 3 Bears Grocery Store.  We had a nice lunch with the guys at the Eager Beaver Cafe.

The shop finally got the radiator out and discovered a hole made by a rock, but it can be repaired.  Their RV will have to stay in the shop until Monday for the repair to be complete.
Folks from California parked near us, and we were inundated with dogs, especially shih thus!  It was fun to see them all together.

 We had a great fish dinner cooked by Steve, and now Barb and Gary are roughing it aboard their rig at the RV shop while we are luxuriating here in our 50 amp campsite.  Jim and Lana arrived this evening from Anchorage, and later in the evening we saw a beautiful rainbow.

We walked over to see Gary and Barb at the RV Repair Shop this morning.  Steve and Gary love being around all those tools and engines and greasy stuff, so they were well entertained.

We spent the afternoon swapping RV stories with Gary, Barb, Jim and Lana, and watching two caravans arrive and get settled in.  We all had a great dinner at Fast Eddy's then went to hear two very good singers here at the campground.  They were very entertaining and we all enjoyed our evening.  We  hope to head for Chicken tomorrow if Gary and Barb's rig is ready.
