Friday

 

North to the Glenn Highway.  East through Palmer, Chickaloon, Glacier View, Eureka Roadhouse, Nelchina, Mendeltna and Tolsona.  Except for Palmer, they don’t all add up together to more than a city block.  A bumpy bouncy road to get here, but not a long day.  Super scenery while we drove.

 

Here is our lunch stop.

 

The road along the Matanuska River.

 

Signs of approaching fall.

 

The surprise look down to the glacier below us at the head of the Matanuska River.

 

The river of ice doing its slow motion creep right in the middle of summer in an otherwise normal flat river valley!

 

A sampling of the local cuisine in town.

It’s a mobile grill, but it doesn’t look like it ever moves much.  You walk inside the building and Ernesto from Mexico City behind the counter takes your order.  He turns and hands it though an opening to the cook in the RV attached to the wall.  The food comes out a little later and is very good.  A charming experience.

 

A touch of evening light.
