Driving through Tetlin National Wildlife Refuge, we were seeing birds with a bright red head, black neck, and white body. Mixed in with them were black and white birds. We were still looking for moose but not seeing any. Unfortunely the most scenic part of the road was fogged in until Beaver Creek.
At Tok, we took Highway 1 (Glenn Highway) which at first was a much smoother road but then it too soon turned into another lumpy, bumpy one.
The route turned at Gakona Junction onto the Richardson Highway then back into Highway 1. Just before a bridge was a sign that said, "No Shooting from the Highway". I wonder what was being shot!
We saw a cow moose in a field. Then further down the road, a dead one was beside the road at the bottom of a hill. A littler further along at the next pullover /turnout was a small pickup with a busted windshield and crumbled right fender and a state trooper. the Glenn Highway follows along the Matansuka River which was dark gray and very shallow rapids. It looked very thick and nasty.
By the time we got to Palmer, the Musk Ox Farm had closed for the day so we got a campsite and will wait for it to open in the morning.
When we stay at a RV park, we find that cable TV means, to hook up your TV cable then raise your antenna until you get four or maybe five channels. In Montana, we got five channels, in the last one we got Max (porn movies), HBO (showiing You Kill Me and Transformers), Fox from Anchorage, and one other from who knows where. In Palmer we got regular over-the-air broadcasts: ABC, CBS, EI, and one very fuzzy channel but the sound was clear.
