2007/07/07 – Saturday – Ferry Ride

We left camp at 10:00.

We only had to wait about 20 minutes to go through the Whittier Tunnel. While driving through the tunnel the speed limit is 25 mph. Also you are driving on the train tracks, but it is smooth.

Once we got to Whittier, we checked in at the ferry terminal and paid the expensive bill!

We walked the little water front part of town and ate lunch.

We pulled the RV into the staging area ready for the ferry.

When it was our time to load we were the last one to load.

The ferry to 6 hours to get into Valdez, again we were the last one to unload – the deck hands had to almost jack knife the RV so I could get off the ship properly.

We found the campground really easily.

We walked the town a little bit before watching some TV for the evening.
