Got A Little Tipsy

We have crossed the border and are finally in Alaska.  I joined a Facebook group for people that are traveling in Alaska.  Lots of really good information about where to stay and eat.  As we were driving along the Alcan Highway, multiple people had commented on this bakery/crepe restaurant on this pretty deserted highway.  After passing it we decided baked goods were worth turning around.  This is where the problem started.  With the tow car on we cannot back up so we have to be careful about where we attempt to turn.  We started to make our turn and began sliding down the shoulder which was very steep.  We were all screaming and trying to shift our weight to keep the RV from tipping.  Chris frantically hit the gas and got us back on the road, crisis averted and no baked goods were secured.  Our first campsite in Alaska is by far my favorite so far.  We camped at the base of an 80 foot waterfall.  We stayed two nights.  This was a very non-touristy area.  We were able to experience local methods for salmon fishing.  Dip netting and the salmon wheel are two ways the local Alaskans fish.  One of the fisherman filleted a large freshly caught red salmon, bagged it up and handed it over saying "enjoy our beautiful state".  We spent that day and evening with some new friends, Lisa and Jeff, from California.  We all came back to our site and cooked up the salmon and had a great dinner by the falls.  We are in route to Seward today.  It has been great having Hannah with us.  Our biggest challenge is sleeping arrangements.  The mattress on the drop down bed has been deemed unusable by all three of us.  We rotate who sleeps on the couch, which has sometimes left a grump among us in the morning.

 Our campsite is just to the left of the rock I am on!
