Left Lake View Campground early and headed west. The pump was still frozen by permafrost so we couldn't refill our water bottles. We stopped at the first little burg we came to but it wasn't open. Cal saw a couple campers nearby and asked them if we could have some water. Well, they said yes and how about some breakfast? They served us fried halibut and salmon and potatoes and beans -- a real feast. Thanks West Virginia campers. You saved us.
The road today was all hills until the last 13 miles, which was pretty much flat. A thunderstorm was chasing us all day and finally caught up with us at the campground here in Tok, another 57 miles today. We had an "all you can eat" salad bar and probably ate too much because neither of us could get to sleep.
Finally found a cell tower in Tok so we called home. Hopefully our Verizon service will be good for awhile now in Alaska.
Tomorrow we will post the blog and buy some groceries and see how far down the road we get -- another 70% chance of rain day, so we will take it one mile at a time.
