I saw the mechanic today and unfortunately they don't have time to fix the linkage until tomorrow so I have an 8 AM appointment. Stayed at a paid campground last night (30 bucks for a tent site) to use the shower and to not abuse the Walmart. Will probably Walmart again tonight. Yesterday I hung out at the Morris Visitor Center which was very nice and today I am at the Noel Wren Public Library- also very nice! Had an eating out breakfast today at The Bakery- eggs, hashbrowns, toast and corned beef hash- yummy and lots of coffee. I have full phone service here so please give me a call if you think of it and have time to chat.
Here are some more pictures:of the Visitor Center and the exhibits- a caibin from 1909 that is all original and in its' original location. It was what they called a "starter home"that someone would live in while they figured out if they were going to stay.
Also there is a tent with typical gear of the 40's it looks like or even earlier, a stuffed grizzly bear, a picture of a couple who were instrumental in getting the Wilderness Areas named and preserved and some of the typical possessions of the First Peoples of the area. That bottle pictured is made of woven grass of all things!
Very nice and great, helpful staff- I spent a pleasant afternoon there.
Wow, neat stuff!
ReplyDeleteGlad you stayed an extra day to get the van repaired before you hit the Dalton Highway.
