The howling wind makes it sound as if a blizzard is raging. It is raining and the temperature is in the upper 40's.
Between Denali NP and Portage we stopped in Anchorage for lunch at Red Robin and stopped at Wal Mart to restock the cupboards.
We arrived at Portage Valley RV Park about five o'clock. We have caught up with the rest of the Framily (friends and family) Caravan. They have been exploring the area.
As soon as the RV's were hooked up we were ready to travel. This time only 12 miles to the small fishing village of Whittier.
Whittier sits on an inlet of Prince William Sound, is a hub for fishing. 14 years ago Whittier could only be reached by rail, boat, or seaplane.
Now the two and half-mile rail tunnel is also used by vehicles. Vehicles takes turns with in-going and out-going trains. The cost of entering the tunnel is $12 per vehicle, more for RV's and other rigs.
