Gastronomic Adventures

The day started well with an eagle perched right above the RV's for an hour or so. This was our last full day of driving, we went from east of Tok to Eagle River via the Tok Cutoff (Glenn Highway). As campground hosts in transit we're staying at the Eagle River State Recreation Area for free tonight. We're just 12 miles north of Anchorage.

The Glenn Highway also had some rough spots and frost heaves, but we still made good time down to Glenallen and then across to Eagle Creek.

Today we made two stops at restaurants we've heard about. Breakfast was at "Fast Eddy's" in Tok. It was excellent, and the portions were huge. I recommend the Musher's Omelet if your cardiologist will allow it. I almost finish it! Serious good food here, and great service.

Later in the day we stopped at the Eureka Lodge just past Eureka Summit for soup and pie. Both were winners and the views to the south were stunning. We took a slab of blueberry pie away with us for later tonight.
