Stop at the Wrangell St. Elias NP Headquarters

From Wrangell St. Elias NP Headquarters
Stopping along the Matanuska River on the Glenn Highway, while I fix lunch, Bob is a good samaritan and picks up garbage along the highway.

Next we stop at the Visitor Center of the Wrangell St. Elias National Park Headquarters to check on road conditions for a possible visit on our return from Valdez.

Inside the visitor center, several people are asking lots of questions, especially Bob wearing the blue cap at the left end of the counter.

While the above is a picture of a picture inside the visitor center, the signs below are taken at the entrance of the visitor center. We asked and received permission to stay the night. It turned out to be a great campground, the kind we like the best. We had it all to ourselves.
