We are in Valdez, AK and this is the last place we had planned to visit; now we are heading towards home, but rather slowly. In order to enjoy the driving we don’t want to drive neither too fast nor for too many hours per day. We drove 512km today and crossed the Thompson pass again 830m high. We stopped to take pictures of a moose cow and it let me get very close before walking into the woods and disappearing totally immediately.

The Alaska Oil Pipeline appeared once in a while above ground along our path; an interesting engineering achievement

We managed to cook a delicious supper outside in warm weather and no insects.

We spent the night at a rest area: N62º 53.616’   W 141º 30.960’ about 30 km from the Canadian border.
